Media Encoder CC 2017 Extremely Slow

I'm trying this: Render Media Encoder for the short sequences and simultaneously run PPro to render direct the longer pieces. It is the only way I can get 100% CPU utilization. But, it's still slow as sh*t.

So angry right now. 12 hours to encode a PPro sequence that used to take 2 hours to render. How do I roll back?

Same here how can they release  such crap updates without finding an answer, had problems after updating the last version of premiere wich is much more instable then the preivious version, do I have to shit my pants every update?

Same here.  There's some serious resource mismanagement in the 2017 versions of Premiere Pro and AME.

Same here, don't want to think about rendering 4K!

This is an embarrassment!

Same here. Doing 4k is laughably slow.

Today i needed 1:30 hour for a project i exported in 25 minutes(a 14 minutes simple lumetri and effects video) on the previous version... on a 6 core 64gb ram machine

help! it's taking 30 mins for a 8bit 1:45second video!

2.5 hours for a 10min video!

Final cut exported this in minutes!

I'm having similar issues trying to send Premiere sequences over to AME. With CUDA on, the render is very slow but I do have a lot of Magic Bullet effects in the sequence which tends to slow things down. This, however is much slower than it ever has been. Even more of a problem is almost every time I send a render to AME it fails... sometimes at 5%, sometimes at 50 or 60% (which is AWESOME, since by that time 2 hours have passed). I'm currently rendering straight out of Premiere at a snail's pace. ADOBE, THIS IS A PROBLEM, PLEASE FIX THIS CRAP ASAP. I've literally been up all night just trying to get a few renders out for client review.

I did get a render to work with AME by shutting off CUDA, but of course it took about 3-4X as long as it should have. This is not only an h.264 problem either. I tried rendering out a DNX sequence with AME and it also failed.

Same issue, Adobe is using approximately 4GB of the 16GB it's allocated and at the most 20% of the CPU. Trying to export from AE into ME is painfully slow (5-10min just to see it in ME and in that time AE is unusable)

I have tried emptying the cache folder and every other trick that I could find online but since 2017 it has at the most only used 25% of the system.

Please can someone help as I can't in good conscience charge the customer for 2hours render what I used to charge 10min
