Yes, if for some reason it doesn't start talking soon enough, it will run the load level up to the point that the system fails -- by overload, basically. If you're having this problem, try setting speakup.synth=none until after you get logged in, preferably over ssh, and then debug. When I start with ttsynth, I do it by hand and have a script that puts 'soft' in /sys/modules/speakup/parameters/synth before executing the speakup connector. It seems espeakup does something similar.
