Wouldn't uploading their static assets to Amazon's S3 or something like that easy the burden on their servers? Wouldn't the extra cost of a service like that aliviate the load on their backend, and thus, save them more resources?
I always thought that was the most compelling feature of AWS S3, besides the "unlimited storage".
