I think the document is misleading. The arg 'double' seems to be to write in
the fastest speed that the drive will support.   I know I write a full CD in
around 15 minutes on my (4x) HP 8100i drive after specifying "prepdisk double".

(I run 3.x here; 4.x has a whole new ATA driver which may change this.)
