CPU issues with Speakup

[Kerry Hoath]

I know for a fact espekupd wakes up the processer 100 times a second 
according to powertop.
Use of usleep perhaps? Haven't looked at the code.
raises wakeup rate on my eeepc from 12.3 a second to 112.3 once espeakupd 
starts.
Regards, Kerry.

That does seem pretty excessive.  Where are you getting that wakeup
rate from?  I don't think our scheduling should be bringing anywhere
near that figure.
