I have noticed that at the begin of the second pass, the encoding speed shows something like 23x, and it slowly drops to a realistic speed like 2.3x. CCE SP 2.70.02 actually creates the vaf as if it were a pass (it is), showing it as pass 1 of X. I think the speed calculation at the begining of the first m2v pass is messed up somehow, unless it really starts fast and then slows down. Have you noticed this behavior?

Also, CCE SP 2.70.02 has an option to use multi-threading. That should use both of your processors. No need to run CCE twice.
