If you want to do this I suspect you want a proxy/cache in front of your install since I doubt there's been a serious effort spent to harden this web server. You could run nginx or lighttpd on your desktop or on a Linode to proxy the requests for you. That would eliminate a lot of the load from the desktop that's trying to game at the same time and shield you from some attacks. Hosting it on a Linode would also help reduce the load on your WAN connection.
