I guess if it works well enough for your application, it wasn't such a
bad idea after all.. ;-)

This kind of thing works well if you can make it an "update" sort of thing
rather than PWM, like RC servos- the pulse length is the signal rather than
the average level of the signal. That would be easy to do in a delay
routine as you describe.
