The delay is rather negligable, especially as most of it is at the host's end - the only people who are likely to notice are those with fast connections - cable modems and the like, except when the website is very busy (which is also negligable, as it is a personal web page, servicing 20 players). Even for those who do notice, it will likely be chalked up to net congestion. As it is a temporary measure until PWB is back up, it's just about perfect as-is, esp. as the text file method requires less complexity of the web host, which makes it almost ideal for distribution to other game hosts.
