Looking back through your message again more closely, I wonder what speed your friends computer is? Also which version of speakup specifically are you using? Is it from a distribution disk set or the 1.5 tarball or cvs? There is a slight possibility that a very slow computer could cause the affect you are seeing. Also if you have patched speakup into a kernel yourself and really new kernel with the 1000 jiffiespersecond instead of the 100 could cause behaviour which looks like your symptoms.
