[Scottish] cdrdao and CPU Usage

[Phil Deane]

Hi Folks

I use cdrdao for copying VCDs and also audio. My script for copying VCDs is 
below. I write at 16x and as su from a terminal.

when I write at 16x I seem to be using 75% of my processor (an AMD XP 2000+) 
which is about that the same amount as I used when I had a p3 800. Is it 
because I am not using buffers?

When I burn in Windows I can burn at the max of 52x which about 10% usage.

Any Suggestions?
