cdrecord spits out a banner stating that it's running at 4x, or you
timed the thing and despite trying to write at 8x it's only managing 4x
in real time?
Alternately, is it writing the data nice and fast but taking forever
fixating the disk or whatever -- is there a specific part of the process
that's taking so long?

*nod* I suspect that what you are discovering is that your laptop
device doesn't have the stability that desktop hardware has and, as a
result, you are seeing problems getting data to disk in time.
