It looks to be pretty poor performing for me.

They must not have a server near you or their anycast isn't working right. They claim they have 70 locations online and will have over 160 in 2018.

I like that it's run by a non-profit and that they won't sell your browsing data to marketers. I switched to it a few days ago and it's been solid so far with similar ping times to Google DNS and OpenDNS.
QoS Tip: Don't complicate your QoS settings. Gargoyle evenly splits available bandwidth between active devices as needed. Just delete all your classification rules and leave only one normal service class and you're done. No more arguing over bandwidth.
