Espeak's sibilance really does get painful at speeds like this. You could probably further increase your processing rate if you vary inflection a bit.

I've played around with the internals a bit, but I've not been able to substantially improve understandability past 1200 wpm no matter what I do.

The settings for that text snippet were

$ espeak -p 100 -s 1000 -v male7

That's really the optimum for me for speeds over 650 pwm.
