This is great. CPU is higher than native, but not too bad (especially considering it's an initial release).

I was getting 10% each on Chrome and a Chrome Renderer process. I paused to switch over to Cog to check its CPU usage, then switched back and it was hovering around 6%. For comparison, Cog spiked to 15% for a second then settled in at around 1%.

I'm on a 2010 Core 2 Duo MacBook Air.

The CPU usage seems to increase while the audio file is being downloaded from the server as well, which might explain why it was initial 10% and then dropped to 6%. We'll look into that more. When decoding from a local file, I've seen flac as low as 3.5%.

Yeah, after the initial spike while downloading (7%) mine settled down to about 1%: http://i.imgur.com/iFijI.png

This is on a 1st gen Core i5.

I'm impressed. The chromium pid settled around 15% on my Eeepc 900 (running Arch Linux, alsa, no pulseaudio)
