Looking for fastest CO9 system

First please let me explain why I need a very fast system:

I need to develop up to 1.500 Raw photos coming from a Canon 1Dx in about 5 hours (yes: hours, not days). So we're not talking about sophisticated image processing. Basically white balance, colour, sharpen. All done with shortcuts. The main bottleneck so far is the creation of the cache (preview, thumbnails).

In another thread I've already been told that CO9 will use all cores available. So CO9 will benefit from a full blown dual Xeon setup.

And what about the graphics card? Does CO9 use Cuda on Nvidia cards? Or is it just about OpenGL performance? Would CO9 benefit from two or more cards?

How many SSD should be used? One for Raw? One for Cache? One for output?

Please feel free to recommend everything which will speed up everything.

Sorry if this is a trivial comment, just some "loud" thinking:
You say your bottleneck is preview generation. I believe you did not specify the resolution you have set for the previews. Have you tried to set preview size to 640p? The previews built this way will be fairly useless - but as your system is very powerful you should get fast response on invidual images nonetheless. In this very specific, time-pressure-driven setup youre described it might be faster to go this way.
