xcdroast is fast...grip is too slow...

[Brian Anderson]

Thanks for the advice, but this isn't the problem.  Even with cdda2wav 
ripping runs at .9x speed.  XCDRoast is still much much faster.  I am 
tending toward believing it is an ide-scsi problem because the exact 
same problem occurs with rythmbox
