[paranoia] Major cdparanoia wierdness

[Chris]

Hi!

I've got a set of 60 disks I'm trying to rip under Linux. Most of  them 
seem to rip at about 2.5x. The occasional one seemed to slow to about .5x.

But on the 50th disk, half way through, it has slowed to absurd 
proportions. It is ripping only about 1% per day! At this rate it will 
take weeks to finish the rip of a single cd.

I saw in the FAQ that under Linux for certain drives it could be very 
slow, but I didn't see any indication it would vary between disk to disk.

I'm presuming that there is something a bit dodgy about this particular 
disk, but I can't understand how it seems to be actually working but so 
slow! I played a track that was ripped at this slow speed and it seems 
to be ok.

I am using RedHat's version of cdparanoia 9.8-15 alpha.
