Simple answer: don't wait five seconds.

The prevalence of support for MPvD in existing hosts?

I think we are wandering off into nonsense territory here.   Have you observed 
this sort of problem in the field?   If so, can you describe what happened?   
If not, why would we optimize for it?

Can you describe for us what this implementation cost is that you want to avoid?
