It shouldn't be a problem. I'm typing this email on a 200MHz ARM processor, with eSpeak echoing words as I type. I have measured eSpeak taking 51 sec to process 6 min 3 sec of speech output while processing text to produce a WAV file. That's about 14% processor occupancy. I originally wrote it to run on a 12MHz ARM processor!
