So you have a 9 GHz Pentium III.  Where did you get that? :-)

That seems *very* slow to me.  I use cdparanoia, though.  With that
tool, cdparanoia --batch rips a whole CD, generally takes somthing like
half an hour.  This is with an Athlon 1.2 Ghz, IDE disk, old 4x/2x/4x CD
burner.  And supposedly cdparanoia is *slower* than cdda2wav, because it
does extra checking.  I am not sure why it would be so slow.
