Thanks Paul.  I knew there was an init delay and should have rephrased
the question to be something more like... Is there some means to
maintain more than one "voice" or "engine" instance in
memory (perhaps
optionally pre-loadable) such that the delay switching between voices is
negligible?

And, a follow-on question if the answer to the above is yes... Are there
implications on using priority TTS messages to override a non-priority
TTS message while also switching voices?
