[WriteLog] Slow CW decoding

[Barry Kutner]

Chad,
My second computer is an old P-60, upgraded with an Overdrive 
chip and slightly overclocked to 133 MHz. The CW works fine, 
along with bandmap, packet, etc. I am using the multi-CW decode. 
Have never tried it with the big decode window as used with RTTY.
