Subject: bug#5749: 24.0.50; Gomoku startup latency

1. Let ~/.emacs consist of this sexp:
(setq initial-frame-alist '((fullscreen . fullheight)))
2. Start Emacs with the above init file.
3. M-x gomoku
=> There is a noticeable delay loading the game -- on my system 3-4
seconds.  This also occurs when the height frame parameter is assigned a
corresponding integer value.  The latency decreases as the height value
decreases.  (At the default height of 35, the startup time is
practically instantaneous.)
