Kirk nailed this one. HZ is set to 512. To compensate, you'll need to
change the timing variables for Speakup. In the /proc/speakup/apollo
directory, you'll se files called jiffy_delta and delay_time, among others.
Note that I might not have spelled apollo the way it is in the
/proc/speakup directory. Use the "cat" command to display the value
contained in the two pseudo files. For example: "cat jiffy_delta" and "cat
delay_time", without the quotes, of course. To change a value, use the
"echo" command. For example: "echo 15 > jiffy_delta" and "echo 80>
delay_time". Using cat, find the value of jiffy_delta. Multiply the value
by five. For example, if the value of jiffy_delta is 3, make it 15. Then,
find the value of delay_time. Divide it by 5. For example, if you find
400, make it 80. If this works, you can write a script to make this
happen on boot.
HTH.
