Export is mind bogglingly slow with first was last updated

I'm on a mid 2011 27 "iMac 3.4 GHz i7 with 32 GB of RAM

10.9.5 OSX

OpenCL GPU acceleration

Work external SSD disk

I've just updated to the latest version of premiere which was released in June (10.3.0) and I am now incredibly slow export time. Currently about 3 hours for a 3 minute video. The images are all 1080 p h.264 to Canon. I use a color combination of Lumetri, FilmConvert, neat video stabilizer and warp, everything I'm aware slow down sometimes make... but I worked with first on this computer for almost 4 years, so I have a pretty good idea what to expect and I have never known export times this slow for such a short video. I've done much heavier video effects in the past which was not long away from export with previous versions of first.

One thing I noticed, is that my computer does not use a lot of RAM for export now. In memory preferences that I put it to use up to 26 GB of my 32 GB of RAM and it is only using 5.6 GB. I've included screenshots of the memory and the processor activity monitor. My computer certainly does not seem to work as hard as he usually does to export the video as soon as possible.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Kevin!

I got OpenCL enabled in display options. I know I'm pushing the limits of the compatibility with my old material and suspected that might be the problem. However, I did a few tests exporting a second 1 clip with different effects enabled and disabled and actually found out that neat video is the culprit. The video took about 1 1/2 minutes to render with video active Neat and less than 5 seconds to render with this option disabled. I use an old version of neat video and they haven't released an update for the new version of first came out, so I'll probably wait for them to get out an update and see if that fixes things.

Thanks for the quick response!
