It shouldn't be a problem. I'm typing this email on a 200MHz ARM
processor, with eSpeak echoing words as I type.

I have measured eSpeak taking 51 sec to process 6 min 3 sec of speech
output while processing text to produce a WAV file.  That's about 14%
processor occupancy.

I originally wrote it to run on a 12MHz ARM processor!
