AME CC 2018 Performance

Hi,

I just built a new workstation and I'm a little surprised to find my exports are seemingly a little slow when using AME.

I'm exporting a 4 minute 1080p H.264 project using the 'Vimeo 1080p' preset.

20 minutes have elapsed so far and it looks like theres still another 20 to go.

I only have one 'effect' in my project and this is simply an adjustment layer with a levels adjustment.

It appears only 1 of my 28 CPU threads is hitting 100% and my GPU (1080 Ti) isnt being used at all.

Is this typical of AME performance or is something not quite right here?

Please see attached screenshot for my info.

Thanks for your time
