    AME CS6 painfully slow loading large quantities of clips.

      I'm using AME CS6 to transcode clips to prepare clips for delivery to a client that will only accept OP1a MXF's.  I have hundreds of clips to transcode and AME CS6 is unbearably slow loading them.  Usually I set up a watch folder but in this case I have two batches to run, one with about 750 individual clips and one with about 450.  Using watch folders just completely brought AME to it's knees trying to transcode a file while updating the queue.  I've just spent two hours loading the clips into AME by dragging/dropping them into the queue (that time includes time spent waiting while AME hangs while trying to change the codec/output setting).

       

      Earlier versions of AME were no where near as slow as this.  Even just scrolling up/down the queue that used to be fluid is now a click, wait, update..click, wait update process.  I could have copied the files from drive to drive in less time than this took to load/index.  Is there anything that can be done to speed up this process?
