I would be surprised, it is off a brand new SATA disk.

The files I was writing were originally from nfs, but I believe that
they had already been combined into an iso, see below:

I was using nautilus-cd-burner to do the burning, which seems to create
the iso itself, and then call growisofs with that iso, and in the debug
log, it calls growisofs with:
growisofs -dvd-compat -use-the-force-luke=tty -Z /dev/hdc=/tmp/image.iso.Q11JAK
Which seems to imply that it is already using an iso.
