Animation Export multithreaded

Make the Export of Animations to video files multithreaded. It takes too long to export high-resolution videos. Adding a temporal dimension to geographic data brings out phenomena that is not apparent in a still image. Making the export of animations faster will increase the use of this medium. Take advantage of GPU and multiple cores on the desktop or GP servers.

Just tried it out today for the first time. Probably won't be using it too much due to export speed. Need better documentation for fly-through from line. But this would be very useful for collaborating with non-Gis users on a major roads project.

This needs to be addressed and properly disclosed.
I have upgraded multiple machines hoping the render speed would improve, only to learn the speed is a function of lacklustre arcgis architecture - and not a system bottleneck.
