I have the table of the gigabeast results, i don't remember when the
experimentation was done but i'd guess early to mid december. (The
eabi option was added to configure on nov 19 (by you))

It shows that the only real slowdown was wma, ac3, ape normal and to a
lesser extent mpc.
All those codecs have changed significantly since then so the testing
should probably be redone.
