Newbie question: every time we reach a better compression we have to use 
more power (rar compared to zip, mp3 to one of the first compression 
schemes, divx compared to cinepak,...). Ogg compress more than mp3 but at 
about the same speed.
Is there an explanation to a such silly question?

Thank you
