Please consider that with 2 passes the quality you obtain is outstanding...
I have a personal opinion (but please do not unveil it, otherwise I will be immediately flamed...) that more than 3 passes is every time pretty ininfluent. Creating bitrate from nothing is simply impossible, and CCE is a superb encoder; in two passes it makes the job perfectly done...

I am in complete agreement. After the first pass you know everything there is to know about the source. On the second pass you simply allocate bits. The rest is video masturbation -- it might feel good, but really doesn't accomplish much.
