speed comment

Hi

The weaponspeed and speed does not matter in attack.

Define

sp  as the shown speed
ws  as the shown weapon speed
lo  as speed_left loss/per round during fight 
ti  as average speed_left gain time interval
ag  as average speed_left gain/round

lo = -1 + (sp/ws + 1) = sp/ws    (see main.c 929, 1100, 1139, xio.c 607)
ti = sp / lo   (approx.)
ag = sp / ti

 thus ag == lo

Not surprising, gain of speed_left is equal to loss of speed_left 
in the average.


The problem is that the number of attack you are allowed
is not influenced by the weapon speed (if weapon speed > 1)
or speed but is approximately one per round (limit by event speed?,
key board speed?).

Test:

  1000 hp earthwall attacked with patched longsword

 player speed	weaponspeed    killed in
    1.30          1.56          35.8 sec.
    1.30	  2.34		38.4 sec
    3.00          4.04          35.3 sec
    3.00          0.99		37.9 sec
    3.00          0.45          57.3 sec
    1.30          0.52          55.5 sec
