I don't know what software google uses on its resolvers, but I suppose
something with shared or synchronizing cache. May be they also make
preventive lookups on popular domains to fill this cache. And the
reason why 8.8.8.8 seems faster - it answered from cache while your
resolver made full lookup chain.
