<pre wrap="">> 2. I tried using Amazon S3 as a cheap CDN, but Varnish was WAY faster.</pre>
Of course a local server will be way faster than S3/Cloudfront, but the
results will likely be different for a user on the other side of the
planet because Cloudfront will have a server close to that user.<br>
<br>
BTW, you should use cloudfront instead of S3 if you want a CDN:<br>
