The media you're using is all H.264 long-GOP, some of the hardest slog to decode/decompress media made. It takes fast cores with around 10GB of RAM per core to process, and the GPU isn't much involved in basic decompressing/decoding, that's CPU computations.
Those 6 cores are apparently set to 3.7Ghz processing speed, which is getting close to 4Ghz, so they're not terribly slow for that media, but still could be faster. 10 cores seems about the most this program currently really utilizes, so the closer to 10 cores, the closer to being above 4Ghz for speed, the better.
Your RAM though ... 16/6, that's only 2.6 GB of RAM per core ... not nearly enough for best processing in long-GOP.
So ... on import in the Media browser, check the "Ingest" option, and from the pop-up, select Create Proxies. Set it to one of the Cineform presets included, do NOT worry about matching frame-size. With media importing, PrPro will send the job to MediaEncoder to do, and when done, will note that there are proxies attached to the media.
In the Program monitor, click the + icon on the far right, and hover over the icons that pop up until one shows "Toggle Proxies". Drag that to place on your program monitor controls. In use, when clicked it turns blue, which indicates PrPro is using the proxy media for playback. Click again, it's gray, which indicates original media is used.
Just work as normal except mostly have the proxies active. And unless you make the original media off-line, it will always export from the original media, no matter whether the proxy icon is toggled blue or not.
