The reason I compare DoH to 'plain DNS' is that it was proposed as the new
default for Firefox. And if it turns out that this new default will in fact
cause a performance degradation, it may be worth pondering skipping 'DOH/2'
as default and waiting for 'DOH/3'.

(note that Mozilla has let the "we'd like to turn on DoH by default"
wording stand, but also stated there are currently no plans yet to do so).

DNSCrypt still offers encryption without sessions, and it works well.
Perhaps DNSCrypt/DoH is the fairest comparison.
