Utilize CPUs better when mixing down to file

I have a podcast template with 6 voice tracks, a dialog bus, SFX / music tracks and a final mix/check bus before master. I have 1-2 VST effects on each of these. Mixing down a 2 hour podcast episode will easily take an hour on a pretty decent machine - with 15% CPU utilization.

I realize this is complex, but couldn't the mixdown process be modularized to take advantage of multiple CPUs in the system, and thus probably reduce the mixdown time greatly?

Media Encoder renders videos quickly, most of which include audio. Why is Audition still slow?

I have the same problem.As we all konw,a song can be mixed by more than 30 tracks and lots of VST effects,but when I was mixing only 15 tracks,Audition's running became slow and I can't monite it,even if most of tracks were muted and pre-rendered.However,when I open the resource monitor,I only find 10% CPU utilization and 70% memory free.I wish Adobe can promote Audition processing speed
