Will SSD speed up iDVD

Hi,

have a nice MacPro 2010 4core 12gig with fast boot and user drives and two slow archive drives.

Am pretty disappointed with how long my iDVD takes to make either a TS_Folder or a Disc Image from my projects.


Would getting an SSD Drive to boot & run iLife on Speed things up?

If so, by how much? If it's just a few percent I'll shrug and live with it, but shaving even 25% off a 4hr encode is still a full hour!


Activity monitor shows app fluctuates between 100 and 200% during most of the encodes.

Getting impression From the dramatic fluctuations in percentages that the CPUs are getting starved by a bottle neck at the hard drive level.
