Weapon script files are preloaded at startup, instead of when they are accessed. This will reduce some hitches while playing Half-Life 2.

Improved the performance of writing out the thumbnail image for save games. This will also reduce the pause when passing over an autosave trigger or pressing the quicksave button.

Minor optimization to the world renderer and world collision.
Minor optimization to the way that asynchronous sound files are loaded.
