What resolution are you encoding to?

--preset slower --pmode --pme should saturate most systems. Although it's often faster to leave out --pmode and --pme if the cores/pixels ratio isn't that high. The goal is to maximize fps, not CPU load. PMode is typically a lot more useful than PME, which I've only seen to be helpful at SD resolutions and below.

PMode and PME don't have any negative quality impact, and pmode can actually help a trifle, potentially.

Doing 2160p on an 18/36 system encoding is ~30% faster without pmode than with it, even though CPU load is about 50% versus ~90%.
