--- Comment #3 from ncahill_alt at yahoo dot com --- Martin, your patch produces the identical object file in 10.3s versus 24.6s. The profile is also very smooth with none of the functions listed above appearing. Thank you very much, this is now not a problem for users of flite 2.0 (a very good speech engine).
