The actual blog post on this is more interesting.

Cloudflare’s blog posts are always more interesting. They have a really good postmortem process.

Thats wild. The last part about using the savings for their cache, did they mean the CDN type stuff or was that something related to the 1.1.1.1 stuff?
Either way their plans to use the new excess for the cache will further make things faster for everyone.
