[mad-dev] CPU bandwidth required for MAD decode..

[john cooper]

Hi,
    I saw some light mention of this in the archives back over
a year ago discussing MAD vs. ARM's decoder.  However nothing
definitive.

I realize this is rather difficult to qualify.  However does
anyone have any data or estimate of the processing time of a
MAD decode where the CPU/speed/architecture are known and
stream I/O overhead (read()/mmap()/memory access) is either
factored out or characterized?

Hoping someone has already beaten this path..

Thanks,

-john
