I'm typing right now on a guest running under vbox using espeakup/speakup, and there is no lag. This is on a windows host, and the processor is a single core 32-bit Intel Pentium IV at 2.20GHz. I'll agree with you that speakup and orca lag when using VRDP to connect to the guest, but the vbox devs say this is the fault of the M$ rdp client, and based on my experience using rdesktop, I'd say they're probably right.
