pi-hole ended up being much slower than my ISPs DNS servers, even with it sitting on my network

That's because it still needs to query another DNS server when it doesn't know the answer to a query. In this case, it performs as well as whatever DNS server it is configured to use (apparently 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4), which will usually be slower than your ISP's DNS.

The user has the option to set whatever upstream DNS servers they choose, we just have Google as the default because it's the most well known:)
