There are customers out there running Comet in the cloud. It definitely does slow down some processes, but it's doable. In fact, we run our comet server at a data center in California, and use Comet Anywhere to remote in. It's not blazing fast, but definitely workable. We are also not running document-heavy programs/functions...
I've used remote desktop in a similar manner, which would probably work well for full Comet installations, and just run them with the server in the same cloud infrastructure. It's definitely not as slow as it used to be, as long as the user's internet connection is good.
There's also the possibility of using a VPN or some kind of private networking solution to put the users desktops in the same "LAN" as the server, but I think this would probably be the worst option (for full comet, CA would be fine). The comet runtime is not meant to run with that much lag.
I'm also curious what others experiences are with running Comet in the cloud, like this or any other method.
