Handbrake users: are insanely long encode times normal?

I got an Apple TV from Santa and sat down to enjoy flipping through my iTunes library of 100 or so HD movies. But out of the lot, only 30 show up in the Apple TV for streaming, and the majority of those have no audio. (They all play just fine in iTunes or Front Row BTW.)
So I went to Handbrake to start re-encoding my collection to be Apple TV-compliant. The first one, “There Will Be Blood,” has been going since this morning and now says it has 5271 minutes left. Doing the math, that’s 3 1/2 days to re-encode one video, which means roughly a full year for the whole library.
I’m currently on a two-year old MacBook with 2GB of RAM.
Is this normal?
