heh.. I should have said:

BULLSHIT! unencrypted UPD to your ISP is the fastest connection you can get.

TCP has 3 Way handshake + TLS negotioation + encryption overhead.

I you are on the other side of the planet than the DoH server it adds
extra time (Speed of Light limit! + delay on every routing hop)

It makes probably sense on public unencrypted WiFi..
but I don't use such shit.

ciao..
