Re: changing the scheduling and niceness of espeakup and related processes

Hi, If I am using the default espeak voice and cat the GPL version 3 the 
document will usually read most of the way down then just stop 
speaking.  If I use the review keys to review the text I have to press 
them a lot before speech comes back.  When the system is doing very long 
processes I get the same issue but sometimes I completely lose speech 
all together.  I thought this was the same issue about losing speech but 
from what you are saying reading a document that is very long and trying 
to read as an Android build is going on are two different issues but 
even switdching consoles causes the speech to delay when the building 
process is going on and sometimes stops all together.  Nick Gawronski
