I mean the name resolution time is longer than expected.
How is your DNS server configured?
What are the Network Card settings?
Are you using DNS forwarders, if so what are they?
Do you have your Root hint records set properly?
How many *hops* are between your DNS server and the internet?
How much traffic is going to your DNS server, should you consider adding another DNS server?

Check if your DNS server is using Forwarders: https://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc754941.aspx
If it's not using Forwarders then you can try using Google's DNS forwarders (8.8.8.8) as a test to see if it improves DNS resolution. If you have multiple DNS servers then you'll need to make this change on each server.

Yes my DNS is configured same as shown in the above screenshots.
Have you cleared your DNS cache and scavenged stale records recently? Try flushing the reregistering the NIC.
How do your network bindings look?
Is the network card configured to use half-duplex (shouldn't be but checking that and other settings, e.g. - TCP Offloading; won't hurt).

ipconfig /flushdns && ipconfig /registerdns
