Hi bmelton,
Looks like you were active around the TC Disrupt time, which was very busy for us (we've added two datacenters since then). We generally make websites about 30% faster on average.

The gig was to migrate some of his company's products to the web, and of course, his main concern was on the speed -- he didn't believe the web could be as fast as a native client. While there's merit to that on its own, my attempts to show otherwise were thwarted by a really slow CloudFlare CDN, at the time, so I kiboshed it.
I blogged about it at the time, and hoped that it was just due to what I'm sure was unexpected expansion in the light of the Disrupt coverage, but truthfully, I don't currently have any products large enough to benefit from it.
It seemed like a cool service, and having recently gone the other way (implemented Amazon's CloudFront / caching / yadda yadda), I will attest that CloudFlare's implementation was far easier and more convenient. I'll try to check you guys out again soon.
Thanks for the comment!
