As you use tabplay~ and thus no change of speed, you can mask the
loading time of [readsf~] by preloading the beginning of a sample into
a table, play this with tabread4~, while readsf~ is still loading the
file, and then switch over from tabread4~ to readsf~ after a certain
time. See attached harddisk sample player for an implementation in
mono. For 4-channel playback you need to modify this of course. Note
that it assumes that your sample has a samplerate of 44.1 kHz and that
Pd is running at 44.1 kHz as well, because readsf~ always plays with
Pd's samplerate.

Ciao
