It's _possible_ that a poorly-written program would read a small bit, encode
that bit, then repeat. Each change of task may require some overhead. I
don't know if this is the case, but try copying all the songs to your hard
drive and encoding them from there. That's what I always do, and my
ripping runs at 48x, and encoding at ~10x, for a net speed of ~8x.

I'd guess misconfiguration first. What options are you using?

I use cdparanoia to rip the files to wav and lame to encode them. Formerly
I used cdda2wav to rip.
