Hmm, do you think we should replace orca in all desktop environments by
a c-implementation?
Slow performance is not related to lxde only. Orca isn't faster in gnome
as well so I can't understand what you want to say here.

Regarding lxde a11y:
I played a bit with the components in the past.
The most dificult problem was to run at-spi-registryd before the first
gtk app starts.

The application menu works (ctrl+esc).
pcmanfm in desktopmode doesn't read anything.
pcmanfm started in filemanager mode works when changing to details in
menu->view.

The buttons/panels are not accessible on the desktop because of missing
keyboard shortcuts afaik.
HTH.
