How did you turn off speech? Did you do it by telling brltty to use the "no" 
speech driver?

Just to be sure, next time around when the problem occurs could you please do 
the uptime command and check what the load average is?

>I tried also renice, which took also no effect. 

renice -20 ?

>The testing of this behavior is also a bit tricky because it happens only from

>Have you any suggestions, 

Nothing that comes to mind immediately.

>should I rebuild brltty from source? 

Yes, pelase, if you can. It's always possible there's an old problem which has 
been fixed for a while and that I've forgotten about.
