That is strange, IIRC most users report much lower CPU when using Triode
plugin compared to using ffmpeg. I suspect you could have a DNS problem
which is one issue some user have with Triodes plugin.

No ffmpeg for radio built and even if there was it wouldn't help, since
unlike Touch, Radio does not have a TinyLMS.   So the Mysb.com based
solution you seek  (i.e. no local LMS) for Radio means somebody having
to implement HLS in LUA (and or C) and there are very few people skilled
in developing new protocols for Radio/Touch.
