Yes, I can send you a scriptable version of the Slow Import Tool. Could you email me you existing automation script so that I can see the paths etc. required, and the URL of your site as I will need to construct an appropriate WGET line to call slow import (as it relies on 302 redirects).
Bear in mind that the Slow Import Tool can only be used with CSV feeds - the method is not compatible with XML feeds; however if you do need to reduce the server load at import time and the Slow Import Tool is not an option the sleep every 100 products (or as required) mod from the following comment can help significantly...
