Umm, it takes longer to write than to read. The disc has to cool
somewhat. This is especially true for rewritables. I have a stack
of rewritables in my hand right now, which have ON THE DISCS THEMSELVES
that they only write at 4x.

YMMV

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
