Well, you know we can keep the simple inventory system and
slow down the changing of equipment by just making a "equip"
time for stuff.
Basically, we insert code (applicable to all objects, not
just armour) that if it sees a "speed" value (or some such
feild) you will be "frozen" while you equip/unequip the
object. Seems "fair" and "simple" (and generalized to all
objects!) to me.
