Obviously, the 80% CPU is not used for the u-law encoding. What I was
talking about is Speex itself requiring about 90 MHz of a slow ARM core
(can be less on a good core).

That's possible. In any case, u-law conversion can be done with far less
than 1 MHz... About Speex, you would likely need to enable ARM
optimizations and set the complexity to 1 (default it 2).
