Ouch.. I've never encoded an mp3 before so I thought
I'd take a stab at it.  Here are my results.

I have a K6-2 350 w/ 128mb of ram (running -current)
using the 'gogo no coder' port (ports/audio/gogo)
which includes 3D-Now! optimisations so that may help.
The track is 8:12 long (a nice tune from the rave
scene in '92, btw).  Encoded at 128kbps, the output
from the encoder is below (mostly in Japanese so excuse
the mess :):

norn[~/mp3]% gogo trip_ii_the_moon.wav out.mp3
午後のこ〜だ ver.0606

354:492 = 0.71:1.. not bad.  (The quality is good too, btw ;-)
