user6718: Can someone help me figure out why 1 system is rendering faster than the other.
System 1 specs 
GPU Quadro K2000
CPU Intel® Xeon® processor E3-1245 v3 3.4 3.8 8 MB 1600 MHz 4
Ram 32 GB
OS Windows 7 64bit
Facilis Terrablock with Fiber connection (used to pull footage)
rendering to a 10k rpm dedicated drive in system.
Task manager say 85% of processor is being used
System 2 specs
GPU Quadro K600
CPU Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2620 v2 2.1 15 MB 1600 MHz 6
Ram 16 GB
OS Windows 7 64bit
Facilis Terrablock with Fiber connection (used to pull footage)
rendering to a 10k rpm dedicated drive in system.
Task manager say 2% of processor is being used
Update with image
new project with new stats
The 2nd system renders this same project out in 1/2 to 1/3 the time but as the pic shows the GPU is barely being used. and system 2 uses almost not CPU still below 5%


user2836: System 2 is using GPU acceleration, System 1 is using CPU rendering.  GPUs, especially Quadros run many rendering tasks FAR more efficiently than a general purpose CPU.  It could easily explain the difference of 83% CPU utilization and 40 minutes of render time.
Note that while your system is showing only 14% CPU utilization in the screen shots, that is 100% of a single threaded process.  If the calculation isn't broken in to multiple threads, then it has to process on one core of the processor, which appears to be what is happening here.  That one core is completely maxed out.
I see you have CUDA selected as the renderer in the second screen shot, however it is not being used based on the GPU usage information.  This is probably related to a driver issue preventing Media Encoder from being able to utilize the GPU hardware.  Try updating your graphics drivers and verify that your graphics card appears on the list of supported graphics cards for CUDA support.
