You can fiddle how often mobs do stuff by reducing PULSE_MOBILE in structs.h

They are fairly slow in stock circle as far as I've seen... if you want 
to make mobs auto-attack ppl as they walk in (bad idea IMHO) you can use 
the aggressive code in mobact.c right inside of perform_move() in 
act.movement.c ... this though, will give mobs a pretty heafty 
advantage in the long run though, because you get an extra attack for 
being the initiator of combat...
