Hi Shawn.
That could be a significant part of the slowdown problem, also check DMA
settings in the Bios, and the kernel ... you never know what the
defaults
are. also check that the burner is in it's own io card alone, and it is
set
to master, if there are any hdd connected to the same cable, remove it
for
the testing.

cdrecord should run between .01 and 0.1 load on your system.
dd could end up being a larger load due to the large amout of fast io it
does, so yes dd fist, put iso down then burm. I do it on my server with
50
people logged in :-) ok, that one is a dual 1.8Ghz with a gig of ram :-)
Cheers
