Then the blog post ends by saying CloudFlare is not the fastest in 10% of cases which seems simply false.

It says "we are aiming to improve our performance in 10% of the networks where we are not #1 today". That's not the same as "we're not the fastest in 10% of networks".

The network team is working right now with this data to improve in 10% of the networks and we're going to keep going.

I see, my bad. I guess I was a bit hasty since the metrics kind of bothered me.

Still, regarding the other point. Any thoughts on that? We've been monitoring performance of various CDNs ourselves, mainly to improve our own performance through our own RUM metrics as well as platforms such Citrix and PerfOps, and while CloudFlare is definitely one of the fastest, it's definitely not the fastest as per your results. For example CacheFly and Limelight seem to be excelling in the US way ahead of others.

Limelight being a multi-hundred million dollar revenue CDN was somehow excluded entirely.

Maybe they can also fix the cases where traffic is routed from Amsterdam to Madrid.
