That's funny, because we're doing it all the time with Pentium 2's
running at 233mhz.

44100 samplerate, mono, 56k VBR.  ices2. pretty basic setup. no skips.

Prehaps it's an issue with your CPU having poor floating point, or
prehaps its OddCast, or prehaps it was compiled without CPU
optimisations, etc.  But we've been doing it for quite some time quite
successfully with ices2.

furthermore, with my K62 450mhz I've successfully done 44100/stereo
encoding at 128k with ices2, it uses about 90% of the cpu but it's
doable.  Dropping to mono makes it much faster, dropping the bitrate
(56k vs 128k) makes it even faster.  Dropping to 22050 samplerate makes
it dramatically faster.
