With default options, the result was almost instant
- At > 500x speed
Used -compression_level 12, finished in ~ 7 seconds
- speed = 48.9x
Then I used multi_dim_quant
- After ~ 10 minutes, I checked the speed to be ~ 0.02x. So thought it would take an hour or so. 1.30 seconds worth of audio was encoded
- It's been over 2 hours now.
  - Shows 1.46 seconds of audio encoded with current speed = 0.00017x

Considering running it in a VM, so I can "pause" it whenever I need to restart my computer.

Update:
size= 123KiB time=00:00:02.82 bitrate= 356.3kbits/s speed=4.68e-05x
It stopped trying to use layman notation.
I'll need to restart soon-ish, but I'll see how far this goes and if the 2.82 seconds of audio is even listenable.

Well, the time value is definitely going forward, so I won't expect that, but then a similar thing happens quite a bit with video stuff, so maybe you're right.
Similar, not same, because in that case, it starts showing speed=N/A
