No, that only delays anything received in the first 5 seconds.
Anything after that is sent out in real time. What it needs is
something to buffer each line read and flush that line from the
buffer N seconds after it was received. My inherent laziness meant
that I was just hoping to avoid having to write it, and was trying
to see if someone else had already written something along those
lines.
