AMD processors have reallativly low memory througput then Intel’s and with generic software like this, are in a bit of disadvantage with Intel, sometimes the compiler prefers Intel architecture. More processors doesn’t automatically mean more speed too. Windows also can be blamed for not allocating resources as ecconomicaly as it should (almost a hundred services in background clogging even 6 processor machine).
One of best ways to encode is in win32 command shell (cmd), as I have seen with x264 video codec and avisynth + lame (having some problems with cmd AAC encoder). Cheers!

I had a AMd X4 955 and spend 1 hour (in fact 2 passes of 7.3 minutes for each file) to encodea four 350Mb avi files. I change to a X6 1075T and continue to spend 1 hour (same 7.3 minutes for each of 2 passes for files) to encode those files. I would like to know if your multi-thread have any kind of problem, and by the way, CPU occupation never goes over 49% on win 7.
