I can confirm the claim w.r.t. lower CPU requirements

here are some benchmark results I have sitting around:

ARM Cortex/A8, speex with NEON patch:

s16 ffmpeg 57997 59671 66401 57464 62370

columns are
(1) working format (s16 or float)
(2) resampler used (src-* are from libsamplerate)
(3) 16000 -> 48000
(4) 32000 -> 48000
(5) 44100 -> 48000
(6) 48000 -> 16000
(7) 48000 -> 32000

observations:
* float-1 is faster than float-3
* quality assessment is missing
* speex-float is faster than speex-fixed
* libresample is slow and GPL
* trivial is not fast
* ffmpeg is not fast but does not depend on the conversion ratio significantly
* float is faster than fixed on ARM
