Increases and decreases in the time taken for the audio to traverse the entire 
audio path will manifest themselves as changes in percevability of echo. For 
example, changing from an entirely uLaw path to a Speex-compressed path will 
introduce additional non-trivial processing delays (see 'show translation' in 
console). It's possible to have an echo on a path that is initially perceived 
as sidetone suddenly become a problem echo because of the introduction of 
additional delays (ie. longer than the 20ms perceivability threshold).

Perhaps there compiler options have changed or the code has become less 
efficient somewhere resulting in a greater delay. If you haven't changed your 
configuration anywhere then try comparing the output of 'show translation' on 
both versions to verify the codecs are performing similarly.
