It sounds to me that what you'd really like is improvments to TCP/IP. The only reason to use PBW vs TCP/IP for games were everyone is Online is that TCP/IP is slower for larger games.

Idealy what would be nice is to have improved TCP/IP for the start of the game and then when the turns start to take longer put in on PBW.

Edit: IF you find opening and closing the game after each PBW turn a pain try what I do. I have a .bat file on my desktop that will get me right into my turn for the game. Saves a lot of clicking and typing in of passwords.
