Is that on a MBP or iMac with built-in speakers by any chance? On some
systems there is additional overhead for equalization involved to make
the most out of the built-in speakers. Depending on how you measure
CPU usage this might taint your measurements...

So the decoding and actual shuffling around of data uses about 1/20 as much CPU as the MatrixMixer overhead. Does that seem right to you?
