Wow! I knew some ARM cores could suck, but this is really impressive!
Some possible explanations:
1) Compiler sucks really bad
2) Somehow, some routines ended up being compiled as floating-point
3) Cache is set to write-through mode

Most of the times, the problem is due to improper synchronization. I
recommend you make recordings, look at the signals try processing
off-line. Oh, and read the manual if not done already. Also note that
1.2beta1 has a bug in the echo canceller, for which the fix is at
https://trac.xiph.org/changeset/11882
