a x4 940 @ 3.2ghz and a x4 965 @ 3.2ghz (the clock speed of the 964 should be 3.4) will not result in 12 vs 5 hrs.

the used settings (you mention auto in the case of the 965) and the length of your movie are what matters.

but i do agree that a quadcore makes a huge difference.

before BD RB i used a x2 6000 (2x 3ghz) for conversions but i ended up with the usual 20+ hrs conversion time.
then i bought a x4 945 which now runs @ 3.45ghz and encoding times vary from 1-10hrs depending on quality setting used and number of frames to encode.
When I was using the PII 940 the settings with BD Rebuilder were allot different then now as they would compare to the High Quality Settings which takes about 8 hrs with the PII 965. I could run a quick run with the PII 940 to see what difference the settings make now with a recode but don't see the point unless someone would like to know what the difference is. The clock speed for my 965 was just a typo yes stock is 3.4GHZ though I am running that at 3.9GHZ now.
