Sure?
Please insert a data DVD (with aprox. 3-4.7 GB of data) and run:
readcd dev=1,0,0 meshpoints=20
Maybe, your DVD drive is not very dast or you have other problems.
With a decent drive and a clean media, you should see speeds starting at
aprox. 9MB/s going to more than 20 MB/s.

What do you call slow?
I see e.v. ~ 4 MB/s with a Compactflash<->USB-card-reader
I see ~ 12 MB/s with a USB based DVD reader. ***
***) This is indeed slow. I did not test recently, but the last time
I did, there was no support for burst DMA and this did slow down USB
transfers.
