(1) IMHO most CD/DVD drives in consumer gear aren't intended for heavy duty work - just loading software or playing the occasional CD, maybe. But ripping with any software will work the drive flat out, and if you have hundreds of discs going in one after the other that's a lot to ask. On top of that, EAC will (especially if its having to work hard to get the bits right) be doing lots of low level adjustments and rereads which again are hard work. (2) I guess its not EAC but the encoding - you would expect that to run CPU up to 100%. However it shouldn't be killing responsiveness, can you adjust FLAC's priority?
