have you tried MP or rendering from command line?

=
also launching maybe 2-3 command line renderers

A two 1TB drive RAID0 is used for cache at the moment. Would an SSD be speedier?
Right now the queue shows an average of 11sec/frame, giving an estimate 3H,47M and going up to complete the 1609 frames...
curiously cpu usage is not maxed though (about 50-60%) i remember on other projects it hit 100% and stayed pegged there...
will definitely have to change some settings when done.

If you=92re rerendering something to incorporate changes, then you really want to be using the disk cache, since that will re-use previously rendered elements when they=92re unchanged. Having the disk cache on a=A0 fast SSD really helps there.

=A0=

Of course, this is only true on After Effects CS6 and later. Also, if on After Effects CS6, make sure that you=92ve installed the updates. There are a lot of cache fixes in them. The Trapcode plug-ins also have had some cache-related fixes, so be sure that you=92re up to date on them, too.=

Hi all,
have some heavy comps here using TC Form etc, and even at 720p, rendering one a one minute comp takes well over an hour and half to finish...
Since there is a lot of back n forth discussing, rerendering etc, what could be the best way to speed up render times without changing the project?
I could=A0 get to add something in the machine, but not much, like an ssd for cache or new gpu at most, but would these help at all? or OC perhaps..
thanx
