It will probably be very close, if you can do it.

I did a bunch of tests of encoder performance (on an Athlon XP 1700+) a 
while back, and found that, for 8kbps CBR complexity 1, I got:

(encode/decode speed)
basic compile: 29.2x / 168x

-O3 -ffast-math -funroll-all-loops
-march=pentium3 -fprefetch-loop-arrays -fsingle-precision-constant: 
53.4x / 361x

With -msse: 65x/386x


The actual numbers don't matter much, but it does mean that encoding is 
almost 6x as expensive as decoding, so expect that you're going to use 
60-90% of your CPU for speex encode..
