15. MP3 Encoding: Lame
In this test, we encode a 178 MB WAV file in MP3 format using the MP3 encoder Lame. We measured the time required for the encoding process.

As you could only expect, even in this discipline, the Pentium-M is once again well ahead of the higher clocked Pentium 4-M.

Here we see the same thing we saw with Raytracer POV-Ray: at a low clock speed, the performance scores are dragged down.
