Much of the improvement in performance that you're seeing is because of the=
 improved caching system in After Effects CS6. The headless version of Afte=
r Effects that is called by Premiere Pro when playing dynamically linked co=
mpositions will read from the cache generated by the main After Effects app=
lication.

CUDA doesn't enter into it unless you're manipulating the composition in Pr=
emiere Pro (scaling, frame rate conversion, etc.).
