-DFASTLOAD for Elvis

[Steve Kirkendall]

Under DOS, Elvis may start up faster if you compile it with -DFASTLOAD in
your CFLAGS.

-DFASTLOAD causes Elvis to read several whole sectors at a time while loading
a text file.  This was intended to reduce the start-up time for Elvis, but
under UNIX it had no measurable effect on Elvis' speed.  So I figured it was
a bust.

But now I've been told that -DFASTLOAD *does* help DOS users.  You may wish
to try it.  If you do, please let know know what effect (if any) you notice.
