They mentioned that S3 is too slow for customers, so they serve the data from their app and cache it. Later they mentioned the site is slow for non-US users and they are looking at a CDN for their static assets.

I wonder, have they looked at Cloudfront, which would solve both of these problems for them?

In our current model, some of our static media are generated asynchronously, but basically on demand. That's the main reason why we don't serve media directly from Cloudfront/S3. We're certainly considering Cloudfront with a custom origin as on the possible CDNs.
