I think that DecTalk and Eloquence are both rather small in memory footprint and processor utilization, especially compared to the modern, more human-sounding concatenative synthesizers like Natural Voices, VoiceText, etc. Eloquence stability improved when GW took SAPI 4 out of its driver chain. If I was having problems, I would be looking at audio drivers, simultaneous processes like web browsing, etc. In my experience on this 2 GHz processor, Windows XP, 1 GB of RAM and internal sound chip, DecTalk and the new Eloquence are comparable. I have only had Eloquence break up a couple of times during the beta cycle, and a couple of unexplained crashes while using the beta versions. No crashes yet with Version 7, but I have only run it for a couple of hours so far.
