What symbols does paranoia's progress bar show?  What
condition is the CD in?  Does it do this with all tracks?
The only experience I've had with cds that rip very slowly
have been badly scratched or otherwise damaged cds. 
Paranoia continues to try to recover the scratches, pits,
etc until it gets something it feels okay with (for lack of
a better phrase).

I doubt the problem is the drive.

Even on worse case disk you can get something ok sounding. 
That's the beauty of paranoia.  However, it can take
forever.
