The great majority of the material in that course is still relevant.
Premiere Pro has expanded its GPU acceleration features a lot since then (using OpenCL now, too, not just CUDA). So, when I say 'CUDA', hear 'OpenCL and CUDA' in the Premiere Pro videos. Also, AME encoding can be GPU-accelerated now.
The main changes for After Effects are the new global performance cache, CUDA acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer, and a revamped use of OpenGL.
I recorded new videos for some of those changes for CS6. Links to those resources are here:

Hey Todd,
I found the "components of performance" V2B lesson on Lynda; looks like exactly what I want (trying to speed up AME while I work in AFX). It's for CS5.5. Does the info still apply for the CC versions? The fundamentals are still the same I'm sure,but let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Dan
