I ran the test, did it five times for Google, five times for Cloudflare and for each and every single one Google won out (for the current location I am at ... work), the script I used is here: https://gist.github.com/bertjwregeer/5225202 https://gist.github.com/bertjwregeer/5225202 This way it will also output how long it spent in each step, including connect, appconnect (if you try the SSL version), how long it spends in pretransfer and how long it takes to start the transfer at all. Followed by the size of the download and the header size. This way you can get a much better idea as to why it is taking longer for one service over the other. The files themselves are relatively small so are not an accurate indicator of transfer speed.
