Any way to speed up Maestro's compilation process?

Using Scenarist the compilation of a DVD takes about 20 minutes, while Maestro needs 2 hours or more. Since I prefer Maestro I wonder if there's any way to speed it up? CPU utilization is as low as 5% on my AMD 2400+... According to the help file this should not be the case!? Thanks in advance!

If maestro or spruce up is taking forever to compile its because it won't for some reason grab itself enough CPU time with some other proccess running thats cpu intensive . Seti for one slows the compilation to a crawl even if its on idle and not working (if you are using cce as well thats your problem). On windows 2000/ XP open the task manager and see what is hogging to cpu time. If you up meastro priorty to aboveNormal and the program thats causing the problem to belownormal, you compile will be down to about 20 mins if its to another drive Or up Maestro to realtime priorty (it wont hog the whole cpu cause it does not need that much ) Works for me Bex

Thanks for the help! I have CPUCool running in the back. Once I disabled it, Maestro would compile just fine! First program I ever had this kind of problem with...
