I'm doing the bulk of my encoding on After Effects on a quadcore now... If you keep your plugins light, and prerender things like overlays, and title/transitions... It's pretty damn fast. Using proper output modules and workflows you can speed yourself up quite a bit on multi formats as well...

When taking into account I'm also using offboard processed mpeg encoders which also help quite a bit, my overall render times for instance on 1.5k/1k/512 WMV, FLV, MPG, MOV as well as ipod and psp formatted mp4 will run about 3-4 hours per 30 mins raw footage.
