Hmmm, ok, guess it's a sysresccd bug in that case then. Yes, the report we have matches what you describe. The report we have states however that everything is fine, until shortly after entering runlevel 3, which is when the sluggish behavior starts, but those are all the details we have, and we'd need to know exactly when after entering runlevel 3 this starts to happen, so we can try to figure out what is causing the problem.

Ok, I tested with a doubletalk pc, and a bns, and didn't see this issue with either synth under 1.1.0, and the 1.1.1 betas. Looks like the problem is with more synths than just the dectalk in that case, but I certainly haven't been able to reproduce it here with the hardware I have to work with. Do you mind if I add the info you provided to the speakup-info page, so we have a wider documentation of the issue?
