Hmm, sorry, never ripped cds on mine. I usually do it on the remote
frontend on the workstation.

The encoding might be the problem (using too much cpu), what does top
say? There are some cd drives that won't capture raw audio with more
than single speed. Can you try a perfect rip? This will take the raw
audio from the drive and write it to the disk as a 44.1kHz wav-file. If
this isn't considerably faster, than it's your drive.
