I havent tried a custom origin in a while, so they mightve added support for gzip, but otherwise he's incorrect. My CF distribution for this site uses S3; Take a look at this page's source and you'll see .gzip all over the place. That’s interesting.

I found you on Tentblogger, and your site is seriously fast. I see your completely run on AWS, something that I would love to do. I just started using s3 and CloudFront, in combination with W3TC, but I'm on Apache, so I don't know if I'm really as fast as I could be. I'd love to pick your brain, and definitely will be following you. Good stuff man Dude, this is awesome stuff right here! I found you on Tentblogger, and your site is seriously fast.
