Enhanced audio tracks take too long to export

Just an FYI, I've done comparisons between exporting my podcasts with the in-program enhanced audio in Essential Sound as opposed to audio tracks created in the Enhance Speech tool in my browser and then downloaded and placed in my timeline...audio that is enhanced inside Premiere takes far far longer to export and isn't worth my time. I don't know if this is because ME has to re-render the audio or not. If it has to re-render, then what is the point of using it?  I need my exports to be as quick as possible and right now the in-program audio enhancer is not saving me time. It's far easier and a better workflow to use the Enhance Speech tool in the browser.
Also...if you have any audio tracks on your timeline that were enhanced inside Premiere, it does not make a difference if those tracks are muted or disabled, ME will need to process them on export and it will take more time.
