Not more than a few _seconds_.  Peeling is just throwing away some bytes --
it's not reencoding.  The problem with peeling isn't the non-availability of
a (somewhat) good peeler -- it's the non-availability of an encoder that
writes better (than libvorbis-1.0) peelable streams.

Anyway, even with my current peelers, going from -q10 to (something largely
equivalent to) -q6 should work quite well; no-one can hear the difference
between -q6 and -q10 anyway (on most tracks).
