It's actually a lot faster since unbound can prefetch and cache your most common queries. Most lookups in my pihole resolve in sub 1ms

Yeah but that's the same as a regular home DNS server that isn't recursive. Your devices also have their own cache.
The point is that if the TTL is 10mins and you lookup the domain after it expires the regular DNS will go and fetch it, unbound fetches it as soon as it expires and it is already cached
Thank you, I'm sorry I wasn't aware of the prefetch feature. That's actually pretty cool.
