Struggling with new Enhance Audio feature

Question

Each time I do an edit on a clip with "Enhanced Audio" from the essential graphics panel, Premiere has to re-analyze the entire clip, process, and then allow me to hear it correctly.

Previously, I would upload to https://podcast.adobe.com/enhance - yes it was an extra step but I never had to worry about this issue as I was working with an audio track as expected.

Premiere should not need to re-process constantly, and the more I cut, the more time-consuming and frustrating it is.

Was this an oversight? Is there a way around this?

Agreed so what I do now at the start of my projects is export WAV and get the enhanced version from Adobe Podcast, the enhance there is 10000x better that the one built into the program, and then just edit like normal.

Until the in-app enhance is fixed, this is the best workaround I've found

EDIT: While I appreciate Matt's answer, the workflow suggested is terrible - I tried it for months - and it simply does not suit the reality of edits and feedback and reverts, so I'm marking this as the best solution for now.

@yash-lucid this is working as designed. Enhance Speech will only process the portion of the audio that is used in your sequence. This way if you only cut in, say, 10 seconds of an hour-long audio piece, you only have to spend the time to run Enhance Speech on that 10 seconds. But that means if you trim or otherwise change the length of the audio segment used, Enhance Speech now needs to re-analyze the clip. There are two approaches you could take to avoid this:

1. Apply Enhance Speech at the end of your editing process

2. Cut the entire clip into a timeline, run Enhance Speech, then right click and choose Render and Replace... which will create a new WAV file of your audio with any effects on it. Then use that new WAV clip in your edit, with the Enhance Speech already "baked in"
