Well, I've got gnome, and hal too, running under debian testing in virtualbox, and am not seeing sluggish response, when using the bns as the synth. So, I'd say that whether running under virtualbox, or on actual iron probably doesn't make a difference here, since using the bns on a real box is fine here, in both cases (except for vbox's serial port issues), as I've said before. BTW, speaking of virtualbox, how are you managing to use the dectalk, given vbox's serial port issues? http://vbox.innotek.de/ticket/812 I can use the bns with it in an emergency, if I read line by line literally, but I go right back to software speech whenever I can, until that serial bug is resolved.
