[RQ-Rules] Performance improvements

[Andrew Mellinger]

Yes and no.  Unfortunately my homebrew is *significantly* changed.  It has 
semblances to RQ but also has a ton of Harn and Ars Magica thrown in.  It 
is currently at 250 pages so sifting through would probably be tedious for 
you.

I can send the whole PDF if you want to try it.
