I will probably be sticking to the echo/script method then.

Actually copying the files is likely to use up more file handles than
echoing values,
so from a puritanical point of view echo 8 >/proc/speakup/rate will be
faster than
the copy method because there are less fopen and fclose calls. Each time you
fopen a file
you need to create a file handle structure for it. Echo is also
a shell builtin so it is likely to execute fast.
