#101 fastload+

[Gergely Szasz]

The most time consuming thing while fuse fastloading:
drawing the border strips. So, if we decrease the
'frame rate' while fastloading, the emulation speed is
increases.
This patch switch to 1:25 frame rate when fastloading.
On a ~3GHz P4 Celeron it causes this speedup (GTK+ gui):

Filter: Speed(%)
fastload patched(fastload+)
Normal 860 2300
Double 380 1400
Triple 200 850

e.g.: the loading time of Enigma Force decreased from
35s to 12s. :-)

I updated the patch. We really need only the border (not)update thing.
