I am ok with Real Life needing my constant attention.  I am not ok with
changes in a game that would need my constant attention for my character to
do anything right.

It already takes me several days to roleplay what happens between my
characters in one single turn because I, as a player, do not have time to
write everything in "real time."

Having those delays implemented would mean I wouldn't be able to do that
either.
