To be honest, the quality differences between the codecs in that study 
were really not huge.  The differences were most apparent at 100x 
compression ratios.

Any they didn't evaluate them on speed which is what is a lot more 
important here!  Really sacrificing a little quality for speed would be 
a good tradeoff for SL.
