Summary: Make loading of soundfonts faster

Initial Comment:
ScummVM takes a very long time loading large sf2 files into the cache. After that, the game using this soundfont behaves as normal. The problem is just that loading into the cache when starting a game takes so long. It's even not possible to cancel the loading process.

I've found OPL-3 FM 128M.sf2 on http://www3.telus.net/anapan8/oldscardemu.htm under "Complete GM Soundfonts" which could be taken to test and look onto the matter.
