Need to improve system utilization when Exporting PDF's.

I am having extremely poor system utilization. 2022,23,24,25. Current editions of each. Is this just a revit design issue or something wrong with my install. PDFing taking upwards of 2 hrs on some projects, With hardware utilization never exceeding 15%. Do any of you have any plug-ins you recommend or suggestions to improve performance?

Try using DiRoots Plug-in for Exporting PDF,
PDF exporting can take long time , depending mainly on how big the sheets are, and the elements they have. And also the quality of the PDF.

How many sheets are in your typical project?
Are they text or image heavy (JPG's, rendered/shaded views, etc...)?
what PDF driver are you using (export to PDF or something else)
