Why would you compare an uncompressed video stream to anything in this discussion? Especially at such a small frame size in modern video usage. Modern encrypted streaming uses pre-existing compressed video where the packets are encrypted on the way to you by the streaming server. It would have to uniquely encrypt the data being sent to every single user hitting that server. So it's not just a one and done type of thing. It is every bit of data for every user. So that scales to a lot of CPU on the server side to do the encryption. Yes, on the receiving side while your device is only dealing with the one single stream, more CPU cycles will be spent decompressing the video compared to decrypting. But again, that's only have of the encrypt/decrypt cycle
