Hello,
I have not noticed the loss of speech, although I do get the
speech-dispatcher slowing down issue. I think the two may be
unrelated.
On the speech slowing down issue, I have tried installing the latest
testing version of espeak and I have not encountered the issue yet
(I only installed the espeak testing version last night, however I
would have expected to encounter the issue by now although I suppose
it would not be impossible for the issue still to show itself with
the current configuration.
ArchLinux users can get the latest espeak testing version from the
AUR package espeak-test and this works fine with speech-dispatcher.

Hello,
In addition to the random speech slow-downs, I've noticed
occational, total speech loss with orca in gnome-3.
I've started running orca from the gnome-terminal in an attempt
to see if any useful error messages are written to the command
line. Today, I had both
a slow-down followed later by a complete stoppage. The below
message was waiting for me on the terminal when I got orca back
up and running.
What I Did:
1. launched gnome through startx.
2. launched gnome-terminal on the 1st desktop workspace. Ran
orca from the gnome-terminal.
3. switched to workspace 2. launched firefox and did my routine
web-stuff.
4. When orca slowed down, switched back to workspace 1,
navagitated the preferences dialog and re-set speech-rate.
Applied the setting and resumed work
in workspace 2. Didn't see any message in the terminal output
at this point.
5. When speech failed completely, switched to text console
(tty1-6) killed orca (orca -f) and reloaded speech-dispatcher (#
/etc/rc.d/speechd restart).
Returned to gnome-desktop workspace 1, and launched orca from
the run dialog. Copied message from the still-running
gnome-terminal.
