It really won't.  The only thing that will lower your load when it comes to
MOH is to keep MOH in all formats which are streamed to your customers.
The reason why the mpg123 mode uses a single stream is because decoding
mp3 puts an incredibly large burden on your CPU, so running multiple
streams is not practical.
