Very slow decoding from wav to mp3

Since upgrading my SF Audio Studio last month to the newest version (14.0) saving wav files as mp3 files lasts really long, I mean double time of lenght of the file. It didn't happen in older versions of SF on the same computer, it took just seconds. What can I do to fix it? Is it a standard in new SF? Thank you in advance for your help!

Sorry @rafa-j, I do not think there is anything you can do. MP3 encoding in SF Pro 14 is slow as well .. on some systems. If you wish to use an older version of SF to encode MP3s, multiple versions can co-exist on the same PC w/o issue. There are third-party MP3 encoders available, but most cannot be integrated into SF so one will want to render a PCM master first, which is a good idea in any case.

You can contact Magix Sound Forge Tech Support and see what they have to say about it.
