Now that one of the three x264 instances finished its job and the process is running two instances only, FPS went from ~17 to ~18.5 (now actually 19.00, whee! ... less than 10% to go and fps is now 19.50.). And while total CPU usage is still at 100%, the PC is much more responsive to use than it was when 3 instances were running.
It will be interesting to see how many instances BD-RB will launch when I set multiprocess to automatic (i.e. 1). On my PC 4 instances is optimal for Pass 1 (as extrapolated from current data) but 2 instances works best for Pass 2.
