I've been using cloudflare for over a year now... They saved my ass a couple of times, so it's not very likely i'll ever drop them ;-)
I've experimented with nginx a couple of times, worked really fast for static content... I reverse proxyd everything but requests to static pages to an apache server listening to another port... (some of my homemade scripts rely on htaccess rather intensively, i was not in the mood to rewrite all those linex to nginx conf-files)
I stopped my approach after the server load became to high (i'm using two mid-level VPS's, and their load was close to 20 if i remember correctly... To bad my VPS's have 2 and 4 Vcpu cores... my host had to kill my instances a couple of times because the stability of his system was in jeopardy... So i decided to go to the classic LAMP again)
