T-engine using lots of CPU time

As soon as I start T4, it uses 99% of my CPU power, and continues to do so for several minutes. The recent pre-init.lua fix makes it fast, but doesn't change the CPU consumption.

After a few minutes the CPU use drops to 20-25%. This isn't so bad, but I'm still fairly sure it's too much.

CPU use maxes out again when loading, saving, or apparently doing anything that needs disk IO.

Hardware: Acer Aspire laptop with a Celeron M 520 CPU @1.6GHz, 1.5 GB of DDR2 RAM, and Intel 945 graphics

Software: up-to-date Debian Squeeze with Xfce

This may be fixed in the next beta since there was a bug (fixed in the SVN) that caused the file loading to be quite slow.

Yeah this is probably the IO stuff.

If you wanna try you should grab the current svn, it has the fix
