Re: DNS servers

How does the DNS affect your overall download speed? All the DNS does is reveal the 'true' location of the webpage you're looking for. It might impact on the delay between hitting enter and seeing your page start to load, but I wouldn't have expected it to impact the download speed after that. Unless I've totally misunderstood what DNS does ... (which I admit is quite possible) ...
