Should 18 sec of render take 22 min?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Editing DV Films : One Thread

I work for a production company that just went out and spent $4000 on a fancy new computer. I helped set the thing up, uploaded a short scene to it, through the crappy videowave II, transfered it to premiere, rendered it and it took 22 minutes for 18 seconds of footage! Can someone tell me what happened? I doubt this is a true showing of premiere. If it is, the whole movie will take over 3 days to render!
