Bug#907429: neverball: Constant fsync calls seriously degrade performance

Can someone humor me and make a quick change to Neverball for me?

In neverball/share/fs_physfs.c, there are three calls to 
PHYSFS_setBuffer(). Just comment them out and rebuild Neverball with 
PhysicsFS support and see if the problem goes away on the machine with 
the slow disk.

I suspect I know what the problem is (which would be a bug in PhysicsFS, 
not Neverball, to be clear), but this will confirm it for me.

Thanks!
