[Flac] compression level

[Harry Sack]

hi

I was wondering how many difference in % of cpu load (on same cpu) exists
between compression level 1 and 8 while decoding. Also same question for
encoding.
Is the difference in % of cpu load while decoding/encoding the reason
different compression levels were created or another reason?

thx
