[Flac] FLAC: general question

[Ivo Emanuel Gonçalves]

The amount of CPU the FLAC encoder uses is dependant on how much
compression you will use.  The less compression you need, the less CPU
power that will be used.

Of course, the whole point of FLAC is to get as much compression as
possible without losing any audio fidelity.

I don't know of any site that compares CPU power usage between FLAC
and MP3.  I have seen a few threads on HA comparing CPU usage between
FLAC and other lossless formats, though.
