You'll need the processor of a needle pin size, to decode ogg, consuming mere micro watts of power, operating at a speed of a few megahertz. You think that's much?
OGG gets decoded at over 300x at speeds of only 1,66Ghz dual core cpu.
currently ANY device can decode ogg, if there was an adventurous soul out there willing to write a decoder for a gameboy, it would be able to do that.

I know by daily experience that solid compression need a fair bit more of power and time to decode.
It's meant for archiving purposes not for active use. Would epub use it, there were enough small devices. choking on books only because of their decompression requirements.

You mean 'encoding'?
Decoding requires virtually nothing, ~1MB of ram; but I understand solid archiving is not chosen because of the benefit that the opposite brings
