I don't know how "big" you are, but have you considered joining the
"Google Global Cache" http://ggcadmin.google.com/ggc ? It may help in
the future with issues like this.
It seems odd that Google aren't doing much with this, they are usually
quite obsessive when it comes to reducing latency and other issues
over their peering connections.
