There isn't really a significant difference in total CPU usage for FLAC versus AIFF, or even MP3 for that matter (keep in mind there is a LOT of other stuff going on in the system). The only real difference would be in memory access patterns - here differences is jitter (see other thread - we are talking a change on the order of one PICOsecond) could be explained by power drawn since the IO and memory systems share the rail with the digital audio logic. The CPU core does not - it runs at 1.2V on a separate supply.
