Vegas 6 - Slower than Vegas 5

I just tested rendering a 12:58 avi file to Main Concept mpeg2 with NTSC dvd template:
on both Vegas 6 and Vegas 5.
V5 - 13:15
V6: after 25 minutes it is still rendering (using the same settings) and the rendering dialogue says it will take 2 hours and 25 minutes. Vegas 6 has media manager turned off and max number of render threads reset to 1. Processes on the computer are limited to the esssential Windows XP proceses that Sony recommends. This is on my desktop - P4 - 2.4, 1 gig ram, rendering to Lacie external 160 gig Porsche hd.
I have been noticing much longer render times with V6 -what's going on - I've read V6 is supposed to be faster. Anybody have this kind of performance?

I have noticed both slower render times and an increase in lock-ups with 6. Is there a benefit to deleting 5? Could this be a cause of the problems I am having?

Anyway, cityanimal is not alone.

Thanks for all the great posts, by the way...this forum is always helpful.

another possibility could be that your new vegas 6 install is set to render to a different place? Could it be that V5 is rendering to a different drive, but your V6 is rendering to the same place? I've seen faster speeds for the most part with V6.
