Running a DNS (e.g. BIND9) -- why?

Hello, an abstract question:
Why would you run your own DNS (domain name server, FYI for innocent
bystanders)?
The reason I ask this question is that I often see questions regarding
set-up of BIND9 or other such DNS services. Why would one set up a DNS
on a small & private LAN? Does having your own DNS improve look-up
response times? Can you then host your own domain(s) without having to
subscribe to a DNS service like dyndns.org which has its own
DNS(erver)?
Thanks for indulging my curiosity,
Eric.
