Wasn't Cloudflare supposed to prevent DDOSing?

It seems only a privacy leak tool now.

1000 requests / min @ 10ms limit / request. That's 16 requests per second. Any reasonable CMS, wiki or blogging tool should be able to do one request in 62.5ms. Add on cacheing for non logged in users and nginx serving anything static, that's less than the power a $5 VPS provides.

At these rates, the case for Cloudflare is a lot less than it was.
