gollark: I think the reason my music listening is using so much CPU, for instance, is that I'm using YouTube for it, which provides videos, which Firefox is decoding even if the actual video content isn't seen. The actual audio content I care about could probably be decoded on a cheap ARM microcontroller or something if there wasn't so much random stuff in the way.
