Comment (by gjdfgh):

 WebM is different from Matroska (WebM only supports VP8 and VP9.)

 Matroska itself does support exactly the same codecs as OGV, and more.
 This includes Theora and Vorbis (the codecs you apparently want to use).
 The CPU usage for decoding will be exactly the same. Matroska isn't slower
 to read than OGV either.

 You are probably under the mistaken impression that Matroska is inherently
 slower than OGV, because you've only looked at Matroska files using H264.
 H264 is indeed slower to decode than Theora, but again, you can use Theora
 in Matroska.

 (By the way, while I'm not entirely sure, I bet using mpeg2 would possibly
 be faster to decode than Theora, because FFmpeg likely has more
 optimizations for such an ubiquitous codec as mpeg. But I'm just guessing
 and don't have the knowledge or numbers to back this up.)
