I realize that's going to require updates pretty often (once you open
up the CWND), but I don't think that it is frequent enough to be a

I well know that HTTP gets used at these volumes more often than
people realize.  I'd rather recommend ChaCha for those niche uses
though if the rate was sufficiently high.
