Daz 4.12.1 Image series rendering seems broken

I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing extremely long render times when using "Image Series" rendering in 4.12. If I render the first frame of my project as a single image it takes 5:30mins, if I render the exact same frame as part of an image series (It's the first frame) it takes 24mins! I've been experiencing this ever since 4.12 was released. 4.11 works without issue and gives the same per frame render times regardless of "single image" or "image series" rendering.

I'm running an i7 6800k processor with 2 x GeForce 1080Ti cards and 64GB ram on a RAID0 SSD setup, so I "should" be getting decent render times, or atleast the same render time on the first frame regardless of mode. I've reinstalled Daz3D tried different GeForce drivers, nothing solves the issue except going back to Daz 4.11, so by process of elimination it would seem Daz 4.12's rendering is broken in some way.

Check the log file - is it using the GPU for both or is the sequence dropping to CPU? There was an issue in 4.12.0, ameliorated in 4.12.1, with the second and so on frame dropping but the first frame was working.

It seems to be working okay for me in daz 4.12.0.85. and I have 1080ti GUP's   I'm just about done rendering animation in PNG series . No issues o report.
