You're right, the root nameservers are probably a bad example but each of those TLD's will have a number of namerservers around the world. If unbound could be configured to prioritise those nameservers that are closer (in terms of latency) rather than using some form of round-robin then any uncached queries would surely benefit from a improved response time?
