[paranoia] lite-on drive slow

[Samuel Davidoff]

I have an internal Lite-on 40x cd-rom drive that came with my toshiba magnia. 
Im running redhat 7.1 with kernal 2.4.9. 

cdparanoia 9.8 works fine only it rips slow. between 2-3x. i had it initially 
using ide and swithched to scsi emulation thinking that was the problem. no 
dice -- it still rips at the slow speed. it speeds up a little (maybe to 5x) 
if i turn off the paranoia. 

other than that it works great. flawless rips, etc... i'm just wondering if 
i'm missing something. anybody else had experience with this drive? am i 
grossly overestimating the speed a 40x drive will give me? or being dumb?

below is my output from cdparanoia -vQ

thanks,

am
