I've been very disappointed

I've been very disappointed that that iMovie 11 only uses 25% CPU overall across 4 cores on my new mac mini 2012 core i7 while exporting / converting an edited clip.

I figured it would breeze through rendering and converting it at blazing speed. Instead I have a roughly 20 DV minute clip (DV camera import) and it needs 20 minutes to save it back after trimming?

Mind you, no transitions, no resizing, ... not a single fancy thing. Just export via quicktime with original settings, size, highest quality as to not degrade the footage.

So will FCP do this in less than half the time, maybe even a quarter?
