Well mostly I tried it out because I was curious but also the stuff Tapio mentioned seemed interesting, but I dind't do any comprehensive benchmarking yet so I don't really know if there are any real benefits.
Some quick testing (with a GCC snapshot from a couple of weeks ago) suggests that AAC is much faster (about 30%) while Vorbis is slower (10-15%). MP3 is pretty much the same.
