Depends on a few factors:

My nameserver, 8.8.8.8, and 1.1.1.1 are all about 25ms away from me. Mine is actually a few ms closer, but that will vary.

Bigger nameservers will have warmer caches, so first lookup might be a bit slower on my nameserver.

I presume the big nameservers are managed well under capacity, so load should not be significant.

All told, I cannot perceive any performance difference at all.
