[ale] Long lag for command line

[Ron Frazier (ALE)]

Not to beat the hdd thing to death, but, could there be a bad sata cable 
or something?  Also, does the lag go away once the command is loaded the 
first time?  You could try running the commands from a different hdd or 
an external drive if you have one, or perhaps a memory stick.  Totally 
pulling this one out of thin air, but corrupt swap file?

Sincerely,

Ron
