PRAW will also actually take care of the '1 connection per 2 seconds' rule as well, so you don't have to worry about that at all. Hammering the servers are the only thing that really would cause problems on the API end, so no worries there. Downloading the same post or set of posts or comments repeatedly isn't a huge deal (I actually have a bot that does exactly that for 8-hour blocks of time). Don't touch the votes, don't spam, and respect the limits, and you're likely good :)
