Ah, I see! Good to know...

Yes, at least partially. The authoring engine (MuxMan) and the video encoder (HcEnc, for instance) are the most time-consuming components in AVS2DVD, I think... The encoder especially...

Both are heavily using I/O operations to read large chunks of input assets and produce equally big output files. So, reading from one drive and writing to a different (physical) one is surely beneficial. I do not have recent figures on the matter, to tell you frankly; furthermore nowadays SSD are quite diffused, so this benefit of distributing the I/O jobs on different drives is not as huge as it was some years ago...

There is also to consider that both encoding and authoring, in AVS2DVD, are single thread modules, using in a very intense way just one of the available CPU cores, so the gain you can obtain will be in any case bounded by the CPU, at a given point...
