When I render a song with WMA at say 64kbps it takes about a minute and utilizes only about 12% of the CPU. Doing an MP3 at 64kbps takes about 11 seconds at 97% cpu for the same song.
Single stereo track, no FX, render loop region was set.

Any idea why the CPU utilization is so poor for WMA 9 or how to get WMA to go faster?
