Speakup chokes on long resitations.

[Gregory Nowak]

Sounds like a hardware problem to me even though it happens on both machines (I'm assuming this is the case).
I've got a doubletalk pc here with slackware 8.0 and kernel 2.4.17 and latest cvs speakup, and never experienced this during long reading sesions.
