Where is the 'Improved Performance' in 2019

Question

I just ran a test on Premiere Elements 2018 vs 2019.

Encoding a 4K edited video Six minutes long with color correction.

Export to 1080p MP4 with a Ryzen Threadripper 2950 overclocked to 3.9 and 32g memory.

Version 2018 used 99.3% of all 32 cores up to 19.4 gig of memory and took 4:22

Version 2019 used 98.4% of all 32 cores up to 18.2 gig of memory and took 4:22

Out size was the same for both 664mb

So it appears that there was zero improvement on the export.

What a complete disappointment.

So what was actually improved in 2019?

I know my 2018 is super stable but I was hoping for a few reasons to upgrade to 2019.

THOUGHTS?

You might not see improved performance because your computer is a high performance computer for Premiere Elements. Lesser machines might see an improvement.

Where did you see the "Improved Performance" for output render claim?

If you are getting a 6 minute video to output encode in less than 6 minutes you have an exceptional machine! Did you build it or buy it assembled?

The only thing I found was that (depending on the system), installation, launch, playback, scrubbing and preview render might all be improved.
