The bit rate defines how much raw samples are decoded from an MP3 frame.
The more samples are decoded the better, resulting in a low memory and
CPU load.

The heap requirements are acutally quite low. Not having the NTK here, I
think that heap memory consumption is about 15-40k. Two things however:
First, the less free heap you have, the more frequent garbage collection
cycles are, resulting in choppy playback. Heap fragmentation can also be
an issue. Second, MAD Max allocates three VBO playback buffers along
with some the MAD Newton data structure on the C++ heap and uses about
200k for that. You can check the different heaps with HeapShow (part of
the NTK).
