I don't know.  I never installed Festival and the flite developers go
on about how festival is such a hog in comparison with flite so your
guess is as good as mine.  I would think based on what I've read so
far Flite takes up a lot less resources and is probably easier to
install.  I had a bare of a time originally compiling flite but I'm
past that now since I was shown how I could temperarily bump up my
swap size:).  I now have a Slackware style binary package I can use
from here on out unless they come with something newer.

It actually responds pretty well on my P200 machine at home but it is
quite a bit more mushy or sluggish on my P120 laptop but it works.
Haven't tried Dectalk yet.
