Export to SSD Adobe Premiere Pro CS6

not really

its cpu/gpu dependent

probably not, your cpu and that jazz is your bottleneck

having your source and project files on the ssd would help with general performance, like less dropped frames and faster scrubbing etc.

I'll have to try that later, as I'm in the middle of an export right now.  However, I started up Aida64 Extreme and it said that each thread is running between 50-60% or so.
