Diagram at the beginning of the article putting Opus at over 2x computation complexity of mp3 is misleading (if not outright wrong). Opus is lighter than mp3 while delivering similar fidelity at almost half the bitrate.
Opus decoding consumes ~10MHz of modern CPU core per one 128kbit stereo full-band track, or ~30MHz of Armv8. This translates to Raspberry pi3 at 1.2GHz decoding ~30 stereo tracks in parallel on single core.
