Hey Gregg,

Yes - this delay is caused by the voice loading into ram etc and
initialising.

I used to have a really long delay - 30-40 seconds, but with a faster
machine it's a lot quicker - however, I tend to stick with one voice.

The NeoSpeech voices are a lot quicker loading that the AT&T Natural
Voices BTW.

Paul.
