[GLLUG] cdrecord slows machine

[Adam McDougall]

People I know have cpu usage issues with 2.4.19 using ide-scsi and 
have corrected the issue by downgrading to 2.4.16, you might try that.
Also, you could try reseating the cables, a loose connection or bad 
cable could cause it to use PIO mode (saw it happen yesterday).
