I have seen this argument come by quite a few times now, but am
wondering: when did spf/cid start to come into being? I mean, if spf
started eg. 3 years ago, while cid did only 1 year ago, the comparison
is biased.

The SPF spec was "frozen" in mid Dec 2003, the C-ID spec was announced
in late Feb 2004.  From my research, SPF had more records published in
the first three weeks than C-ID has had published in the first three
months.

You can find a copy of the data I dug up in the following post:
