Hi Jacob,
Can you see the error logs on the live server? I wonder if they show anything. 
I've also experienced delays like this because php.ini had warnings set and my 
program was spitting out all kinds of warnings that I didn't know about because 
it took them a while to get to the screen.

Ok, testing it on various hosting packages/software on windows7 64 bit machine 
now brings up following reactions.

On XAMPP, which tells me the following from phpinfo():
PHP Version 5.3.8

This line:
$iIndex = array_flip($this->arPlayers)[$sPlayer];

Returns/brings up the following error message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '['

But, if I split it over 2 lines again, then it works fine...

Then, using verrtrigoserv:
PHP Version 5.3.10

Same error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '['

But, split into 2 lines works fine there as well.

And, referring to my primarily used WAMP package/server:
PHP Version 5.4.3

It's still quite happy with either version.

For referral, the live hosting server returns the following version info:
PHP Version 5.2.17

Bit weird, and still not sure why live server just sort of hangs up instead of 
telling me about an error occuring - will see if can make any changes there 
somehow, or maybe it's best to leave it 'clean', and possibly just implement a 
bit more of my own error handling for pages going 'live' or something.

Alternatively, might try roll back WAMP to slightly earlier version, or maybe 
at the very least, test/try out things on XAMPP instance before putting them up 
on live server.

Stay well
