For the delay do you mean via the web gateways, or directly over IPFS?

For storage, most of the Filecoin-backed serves (like http://web3.storage, https://nft.storage, and https://estuary.tech are either free or close to that for most use cases. Have you looked at those recently?

I hear you on go-ipfs, but there are now multiple implementations, include rust-ipfs, that are also getting there.
