It's hard for me to see why you don't use the multi-encoder function of dbp to rip the CD and convert to MP3 at the same time, to the locations of your choice. I have a totally basic HP desktop with a minimalist dual core processor (way way below current standards), and there is maybe a 5 second conversion process at the end of each track. If that, usually less. My files get ripped to flac and mp3 (320kbps) at the same time. At one point I was using wma lossless and wma, but switched to flac and mp3. Not that I'd ever notice the difference.
