Decoding uses the same maths that encodes does.  Less intensive
overall, but same types.
The rule of thumb I've seen is that each doubling of cache is roughly
the same as increasing the processor speed by ~10%.  Very roughly.
YMMV, no warranty expressed or implied, void where prohibited.

Have fun,
