Hmmm... special efforts were made to optimize it. After all it's just
6k of lines, nothing to any of supported games data... If we only could
have porter's attention more often, so they could test it on low-end
devices... sigh.

If there would be included words from single game, that could spoil the
gameplay quite highly. Just like it was/is with GBAGI. But I was sure
that that big dictionary wouldn't make problems. Sierra-only dictionary
is slightly below 3,100 entries. I'm attaching it here. Use

  perl tools//construct-pred-dict.pl sierra.dic > pred.dic

and if possible, test on real device, how long it takes to load the
dictionary.

I'm afraid it's too late unless someone will perform a quick profiling,
and, perhaps, Max will look into it. But generally it's quite late.
