Couple that with the fact that the Raspberry Pi has to run from slow MicroSD, and as far as I know, can't even take full advantage of UHS1 or other advancements in the MicroSD specification that make it faster or more reliable. Your best experience would likely be running the 64-bit Odroid C2 http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G145457216438 with either the Ubuntu, or rather I believe Ubuntu-MATE distribution that comes with the optional eMMC module you can plug into it, or possibly ArchLinuxARM http://archlinuxarm.org/ These are true 64-bit single board computers with true 64-bit software to match, and for only a slightly higher price than the Raspberry Pi3, these have a much faster CPU and twice the RAM. The only trouble you may have is the fact that Speakup isn't built into the kernel, as they don't enable staging modules. But you can grab Fenrir from the Arch User Repository or from git clone https://github.com/chrys87/fenrir and finally separate your screen reader from the kernel entirely. Yes, you will need to get this stuff started over ssh, but you'll appreciate the faster computer and the userspace screen reader. Hope this helps.
