CDNs cannot improve performance of a site that isn't optimized, and if you do optimize it, you don't need a CDN.

Testing from a local node isn't revealing - it really doesn't make that much difference. Plus you have no way of knowing if that actually improves the number of "hops" and you have no way of knowing if any of the relays are inherently slow.

Taking 400kb off the fat page by optimizing the images isn't a minor thing at all - it usually improves all the other problems as well. It is a basic MUST of page optimization. It's the FIRST thing anyone who wants to optimize their site, needs to do.

2 MB of data isn't going to load and render fast. Fat sites are slow sites. He needs to SLIM IT DOWN first, then see what his situation is.
