It does keep server load down a bit, think about how much the game lags in the beginning when there are more people than usual spamming clicks. Every click in this game (well almost every) requires a server calculation, a database query or both. So it definitely would help with keeping us from lagging and timing out.
Of course a faster server with more memory would do that too, but dedicated servers are pretty expensive, trust me I know lol.

The 5 second delay was put in to combat bots, it also helps reduce server load on single page processes considering each race is actually a proc page that requires the server to do calculations. It has nothing to do with keeping people online, the average computer and internet connection along with clicking speeds really mean it usually takes approx 5 seconds to make the 3 clicks required to get the race anyways. Not including the time to find the next person in the list.
in regards to 2: I didn't want to bring it up, but get rid of the 5 second delay, and i'll be the first to make a program that will spam 200 or more races in a minute..
