Making flite more responsive and improving its pronounciation

[Janina Sajka]

Hi, Luke:

I've tried both flite and DEC Talk 4. I haven't bought 5 and don't plan
to. Response is the same. The speech is extremely choppy so that I'm
only comfortable hearing it while reviewing the screen.

Last year I had a Thinkpad T30 which was much better. So, I don't
understand where the breakdown is.
