Female TTS voice seems slow because of fuse overhead?

After just one or two sentences the Kindle gives up and reverts to the male voice which works good (except from the crackling noise).

In order to remedy this I compiled an update including the TTS-files (with SKIP_TTS_FILES="") but then the Kindle hanged both for the male and female voice.

Any ideas why this occurs and how to fix it?
From quick glance using htop, it seems that fuse which is used to access /mnt/us takes considerable CPU resources, and produce strange-sounding female TTS. However, male voice (which is on rootfs) does sound good to me in beta4 (with already mentioned ticks from time to time).
