I assume (I didn't check with tcpdump) that Atlas starts the clock when the SYN packet leaves, and dig when the DNS request leaves. That would explain your observation. Both make sense, and I disagree when you say that the second method is the only right one. In practice, which method is the most relevant depends on whether you use persistent TCP connections or not.
