Software compression in general is slow, and the more complex the compression algorithm, the slower it gets. I can't speak for the breadth of compression products, but with Squeeze it's also been my experience the longer you have it running and compressing clips, the slower it gets (memory leaks?). When I've got a number of clips to compress (on Win XP Pro), I disconnect the workstation from the network, do a clean boot with all non-critical system startups (eg, antivirus, VNC, quicktime/adobe speed loaders) disabled, then set everything up to start compressing before I turn off the lights and leave.
