Though it has been better than it was, the regression lasted all day, and I was getting delays on maybe half the sites.
On a hunch, I entered the OpenDNS address directly in the network properties applet, rather than referring the network to the router's DNS spec, then cycled the network off and on. The result was instant, and in every case my lookups were lightning fast.
So I'm not sure what's at play here. Either the router is defective and the anomalies between linux and windows box performance were just coincidence, or windows is doing a better job of talking to the router.
