On 6.5, it's as fast as an intra codec, which is very fast (on Edius). The main demerit of Edius is too few filters and restricted third-party plug-in support. But for the editing engine alone, it's great.
In Edius there is a way to import some After Effects filters and plug-ins, like magic bullet Looks, Colorista, Mojo, NewBlue Effects and others. Plug-ins must be for 32bit and previous editions of AE (CS4,CS3).
