TMPGEnc Plus is a great MPEG-2 encoder but it is slow as MPEG-2 encoders go plus the fact that any form of software MPEG-2 encoding is slow. I've seen 2 hour captures take as long as 29 hours to encode. The speed depends on the memory and (mostly) processor speed of your computer. Also applying filters will also slow down the encoding time.

Some people think CCE is faster but I don't think it is all that much faster, at least in my experience. Plus TMPGEnc Plus is very easy to learn and use ... much more so than CCE.

I did recently try the demo of the MainConcept MPEG-2 encoder and found that it was substantially faster than TMPGEnc Plus but it also did not yeild as good a quality in the final output.

So in short there is no real "trick" in speeding up MPEG-2 encoding ... especially if you want quality.

However, having said that, I have seen analog sources that were recorded on a stand alone DVD recorder and those things of course record in real time and the quality is actually very good. So I suppose if you had a stand alone DVD recorder you could use your video card's TV out to play back the AVI and record it that way (in real time) to the stand alone DVD recorder. However I'm sure quality would suffer in that I've yet to see a super high quality image come from a video card TV out function. So really the stand alone DVD recorders I think are best for use with cable or VHS etc.
