[Speex-dev] Another ? about Speex and CPU

I don't know the AVR32 chip. However for an ARM7TDMI running at 50 MHz,
assuming a good compiler and some hand-coded assembly, you would be very
close to the achievable limit (couldn't say on which side). So if your
AVR32 is faster than an ARM7TDMI, it's likely achievable. If it's
slower, then it's likely not achievable.

Hope that helps,
