I just exported my first project with MEP 2014 and it took about 20% longer than MEP 2013.
It was a small project, 3:49 in length.

Source material covered a range, including JPGs, MOV movie clips, AVI (FRAPS) video from Google Earth, with several collages, multiple tracks, etc. Project settings: 1920 x1080,16:9, 25 fps.
2013: MP4 = 548 MB and took 12:30
2014: MP4 = 546 MB and took 15:07
Export settings were identical:

Note that as usual (in both versions) I was unable to use the Hardware Acceleration option for export because that gives the familiar and unhelpful 'unknown error':
Any comments, explanations or feedback on similar comparisons would be much appreciated please.
