I have just tried it and not really found any perceptible difference although if anything I would say it was slower. So, carried out some ping and traceroute tests this morning:

Open DNS1 (208.67.222.222) ping average 20mS, 13 Hops
Open DNS2 (208.67.220.220) ping average 18mS, 12 Hops

ntl DNS1 (194.168.4.100) ping average 11mS, 5 Hops
ntl DNS2 (194.168.8.100) ping average 14mS, 8 Hops

Ping tests were carried out continuously for about 5 mins.

My conclusion is that the speed difference is minimal.
