Out of curiousity what is the average processing time for this script on a quadcore computer?

I'm currently looking at 32 hours. I'm using an AMD Athlon II quadcore, 2.9 GHz, with 4GB RAM. I also have an ATI Radeon 5770 graphics card which, under Windows 7, takes advantage of DirectCompute 11 (i.e., the graphics card takes on some of the processing tasks), which is supposed to be beneficial for such things as encoding.

Prior to this system, however, I was looking at a 6-7 day encode.

Edit: Oops, looks like I was only looking at the time for the first pass. I guess that means I'm really looking at 64 hours :(
