From security point of view former is strongly discouraged ("retarded" because there are no secure implementations of that which prevent trivial MitM attacks) and latter had several CVE issues in recent times (unfortunately so did other alternatives such as dnsmasq).
It ignores resolver configuration file.

What's interesting to me in this article is that the only place that Clear Linux and Solus spend any significant time is in the 'firmware'. What's not clear to me is whether this is /usr/lib/firmware type stuff, provided by the OS. I get the impression that it's not—that it's the UEFI stuff provided by the hardware manufacturer. Which means that the part that Clear Linux can control is right around a second—around a tenth what the hardware is taking. I don't know about the rest of you, but that really bothers me. At least the test wasn't done on an IBM; firmware time would have dominated regardless of the OS.
