This is not true, at least not as a general statement. As I reported in a newsgroup, you are reading, I was able to burn a data CD with -raw96r at 20x speed with my ATAPI CD writer with less than 5% CPU usage with your closed source version. AUDIO CDs can be burnt with the same options with less than 3% CPU usage even with the open source version. So it's rather a bad setup than a general Linux problem. I tested this with 2.4.18 and 2.4.20-pre8-ac3, i.e. with the new and the old IDE subsystem. regards Markus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
