I guess if you have video clips on the time line DaVinci Resolve is also rendering and sending both audio and video to Voukoder Pro, even if video track is then ignored. You can try to disable the video export in DaVinci Resolve. Is it better then?
If you have no video tracks in the timeline it doesn't render it and does not send it to Voukoder Pro.
I just tried it.
If I disable all video tracks and start the render, the speed is perfect.
If I enable the video tracks, the render time increases dramatically. It looks like Voukoder is processing the video as well.
Example: 1h 40m project with 4 video tracks, audio tracks, and 2 subtitle tracks.
Video tracks disabled: 1m 14s render time
Video tracks enabled: 40m+ render time
