Well, but except for mass-production, who does really care for the
burning time?

My Plasmon burner gets around 300 KB/s onto the CD-R (plus the
fixation time), but since it doesn't restrict my usage of the machine
except that i should not reboot while it is burning :), what gives?

Btw., Yamaha seems to have a terrible idea of how much secret their
SCSI documentation must be, and AFAIK, their burners do only have 512
KB cache.  This might come pretty tight when running multi-user.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
