Found the plugins after I posted, particularly useful was the split exr layers to comps script in that package, also definitely noticed the speed boost in file handling.

Now I just need faster storage and more hard drive space. These fluid sims and exr sequences eat up space like nothing else.

Speaking of which, I need faster hard drives.

Brendan has updated the ProEXR plug-ins beyond what is included in After Effects. I recommend installing the new version for the speed boost:
