I'll have to try that turning hyperthreading off trick. I know I had
to do that on an older Mac Pro back when they just started putting
Nehalem chips in. It would work so much better with it off that it
was almost night and day. Granted that was 4 years ago though. I
wouldn't be surprised if it was a hinky file. The source images are
16 bit Tiff files and the screen grab program used on it is a bit
shoddy.

P.S. I guess if I'm going to turn off hyperthreading, overclocking
the rig would be one more logical step :)

What format are all of your images? I've found
sometimes changing format makes it all work.
Also, make sure hyperthreading is turned off in your
bios. You should have only 6 cores showing in your system.
I have almost the exact same setup as you, 980/ non-x
and as would hang and use only one core because it couldn't
figure out how to start the other processes on the other cores.
I don't know what the deal was, but turning off hyperthreading
made renders smooth and everything was good as gold again.
Good luck!

I've had renders hang when Ae got to a point in the Comp with
a corrupted file. When that happens, I Save As another format
(PNG to TIF, etc.), and replace it in the Ae Comp, and that
usually fixes the problem.
I've also seen a plug-in instance go haywire, and removing the
plug, and re-applying it with the same settings fixes it.
This has happened in Pr as well, and the fix is the same.
Good luck.

on the "transform & compositing" phase of the comp and I'm
trying to figure out why. To describe it simply, it's one of
those "zoom into location using satellite photography from
space" shots. Most of the shots used in this are about 2K
resolution, being placed in a 1080p final comp. This features
pictures placed on top of one another using a camera to zoom
into the final location in 3D space. What should take about 5
minutes or so is taking 30-40 minutes. Here's the system
specs.
