A cache has a limited size, and correct me if I'm wrong, but if Google
is a very large portion the traffic, it will more frequently displace
other entries in the cache, making Google appear more "responsive".

It all depends on what you mean by "neutral":

     The  law,  in  its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as
     the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the  streets,  and  to
     steal bread.
