No, it shouldn't be slow. If you have a slow hosting site that could be part of the problem. It only queries the site and updates the information for the individual looking at the event. If it does get slow or goes down, the curl features and the conditionals should bypass the site altogether. My site is fairly fast but then I have a pretty good hosting plan too. Remember, that speed will affect each user on an individual basis also. So, for instance, if my ISP provider went down or was having problems reaching the armory, I would be the only one having issues and would use the conditionals to bypass the site. Whereas, others would have no problems whatsoever.
I'm not sure how it would run on a privately built or pre-made server. I've always found those types of servers to be slower. That's why I won't privately host my own site.
And, glad you finally got it working!
