I play FLAC via Rockbox with a 5th gen iPod Video and it’s able to keep up. I did find that if the music files have the album art embedded in them (especially high resolution art) that it SERIOUSLY bogs down the iPod as it tries to downsize the photo. Once I fixed that, it plays FLAC just as promptly as any mp3.
