I looked in the ReadMe file that came with the software, and came across a list of system requirements:
I meet and even exceed all of these requirements, except for one I'm not too certain about, which is the CPU clock speed. I read somewhere that the CPU clock speed is dependent on the host machine, so this shouldn't be a problem (if that's the case).
VocalWriter uses the (MacOS) system's built-in General MIDI synthesizer for its instruments, and the (MacOS) system's built-in speech synthesizer for vocals. I've noticed that when using the speech synth to "read aloud" text I've written in SimpleText, as well as previewing the synth in system settings, that it is very choppy as well.
Here's a list of my system specs
