CFCONTENT rocks... I haven't found it slow at all. IME, it's as fast as straight http. We use it for all our product downloads from our main site, and most of our installers are in the 3-8 MB range.
Not sure what you mean by using CFFILE for downloads. Your only real choices are offering files by ftp, http, or CFCONTENT.
