Limiting the Turbo mode to tape loading?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Since the only useful function of the Turbo mode is to load tapes faster, how 
about just activating it while a tape is playing?

That would remove the hassle of having to manually activate and deactivate it 
each time a tape is loaded.

Some people like to have the loading at normal mode to emulate a real spectrum, 
so the manual configuration is necessary. To avoid the hassle, you can save a 
snapshot image of the game.

Snapshots are useless for multi-load games and could even be considered today 
as "legacy" from the times when proper tape file support was still being worked 
on...

What I'm suggesting is a new turbo mode that's _only_ activated when the 
emulator is loading from the tape.

That's a pretty handy feature that's implemented in most current Spectrum 
emulators, which can be considered an "enhancement" to the original system's 
limitations while keeping it compatible with every game in existance, including 
those that load its levels separately.

Please do consider adding such an option.

Ok. This can be done.

In v7 there is an a turbo auto mode which speeds up the emulator while loading
