I know higher compression leads to more cpu cycles and smaller files. Yet will the N900 stuggle with highly compressed flac?

I don't believe FLAC will impose a significant amount of CPU usage on the N900. I would consider the amount of space you'll use, however, and if you'll be listening in situations and locations that make using FLAC worth it.

i think the file sizes produced by FLAC are too big for portable use. Perhaps look into .ogg - it's a little better than mp3 with regard to the listening quality of the compressed audio and the file sizes are very comparable.
unless you intend on only storing a small amount of music i'd go for .ogg.

assuming you want to fill the entire usable space on the HD
