Surprisingly CloudFront was almost twice as slow as S3 for me (though I only tried it once):

[1] 6m 56s

[2] 11m 22s

Yes that is interesting without being shocking. True we can't conclude anything from one spin so if you have time please run it again and share. If it was an anomaly then I think it's: a) merely verification that the pipes downstream are unreliable and/or b) your edge location didn't have the file cached so fetched from S3 before serving to you. But if you continue to see unexpected results do tell.
