This is what I use, too.  You can play with the speed - I have a cheap writer that
should go higher than 4x but doesn't.  Try it out with -dummy to see whether
you'll have buffer underruns or other problems, and to time the actual writing.

You don't have to be root to do this, assuming your device permissions are
acceptable.  cdrecord will complain in that case - it tries to set its priority
and such to prevent underruns and only root can do those things.  But it seems
harmless, despite the warnings.
