I've compared the speed of Ispell and Aspell in pipe mode.  Aspell
appears to be roughly 60 times slower than Ispell.  Although Aspell
does more work than Ispell, this seems like quite a large difference.
Can something simple be done to speed up Aspell a bit?

Maybe it would be useful to document the speeds of the different
suggestion modes in the aspell manpage?
