Thanks for your reply, Alexander

After I've removed the systemd-udev-settle.service mentions on the espeakup.service file, the slowdown was removed, I don't know why.

I have no idea about alsa settings, but if I run aplay -L, it shows that the intel card is set as default. If it was not running with this card, when I run systemctl reloadand start, espeakup must not talk, but it does.
Thanks again.
