Possibly it's due to the way the spd openjtalk module was made: it calls
open_jtalk once per utterance, and thus loads the model each time. It
could possibly be much more efficient to directly use the HTS Engine as
a library, to be able to load the model just once.

As always, contribution welcome ;)
