No Joel. Once an image is created it's not going to be able to go back and clean up any imperfections. My point is that the creation of the image itself allows the ripper to separate the processes. If you're ripping on the fly you won't get an image file at all because the encoding is being done on the data stream as it leaves the CD-ROM.
You really only need ask yourself a very simple question as to whether you want to use on the fly or not. Do you think that developers put this flag in just to slow you down when ripping or burning? The developer obviously wants their program to rip and burn at the maximum speed and quality so why would they build in a feature who's only purpose would be to slow you down? It's pretty obvious I think that the trade off is that you forgo some quality for speed and so it's really a personal choice.
