Encoding time differences with Pentium IV - incredible...

[Gordian]

Hi, I have a PIV 1900 ghz, and am using three different encoders: CCE SP 2.61, LSX 3.5 and TMPGenc 2.0
My test file is 135 seconds.
Using 2pass VBR 6000 - 8000.
LSX 3.5 takes 25 minutes.
CCE SP takes 9 minutes (!!!)
TMPGENC takes 62 minutes (checking SSE-2 box)
Why do I get these so different results on the same machine????

Well every program has different ways of encoding.
On that 135 second file, what is the codec? and format size?
So I can compare it to my dual PIII 1 GZ.
I only use LSX 3.5 (I mean I don't have any other encoder installed), and would like to do some comparisons.

Hmm... over 1 hour to encode 2 minutes with TMPGenc... that just doesn't sound right. That means 30x encoding.

On my Athlon, in 2pass vbr, I get around 11x encoding time with TMPGEnc.

My codec is Matrox RT2000 AVI.
It really is too much - 28:1 is not the encoding time I expected from a SSE-2 optimized program.
Any clue from other users on how to fix it?

Have u tried version 2.0?

if so maybe try the other versions, because i can encode faster than that on P3 clocked @ 975

Indeed, I am using 2.0 release, and have checked SSE-2 box...
Could anybody tell me if there are any chances that Tmpgenc is not "reading" correctly my setup?
