Premiere Pro cs 5.52 vs Premiere Pro cs 6.01 (windows)

Question

Hello to all,
I have this simple scene setup in my timeline:
11 clips with no cuts or transitions for a total sequence lenght of 10 minutes
Clips are in full hd (Avchd from a sony consumer cameras)
I send to encore to create a blu ray disk.
5.52 encoding time = 3.33 minutes
6.01 encoding time = 7.25 minutes
recording on blu ray disk on bd-rw (2x) about 4 minutes for both
I saw some posts that certified cs6 is slower than cs 5.5.
Are my results correct?
May I have a problem with my setup?
My config is:
Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit
I7 [email protected] ghz
24 gb ddr3 cl 9 1600 mhz
boot disk 240 gb force Gt
raid 2 raptor 600 gb each
Nvdia geforce GTX 680 2gb (reference model)
Thank you in advance

My system is quite similar and I do see a slight difference in H.264 encoding performance on my PPBM5.5 benchmarks using both CS5.and CS6.  But our workflows are quite different in PPBM5.5 and in real life I encode either as a direct export from Premiere or in PPBM5 via AME as opposed to doing it in Encore.  Looking at my results (BillG) I see CS 5.5 a score of 43 seconds with a GTX580 and CS6 a score of 59 seconds.  Both scores at a clock of 4.2 GHZ and the much higher (in my case) project disk array.
If you want to try a direct export from the timeline it would be interesting to see how that compares to the dynamic linking from Premiere to Encore.  I do not think that ADdobe changed the encoder, it is possible that there now is just more code in between applications for many new features that CS6 has.
