I don’t use opendns for other reasons. I find their response to nonexistent domains to a search page, offensive.

Check out dnsb aka dnsbench from http://www.grc.com/dnsb/ When I have tested with it, opendns was far below even my local ISP dns server.

I can easily see how your DNS server provides better service than ISPs but I would imagine that the performance increase from OpenDNS to your own might not be worth the effort (at least for me).
