system slowdown when copying audio CDs

[Romain Lerallut <lerallut@eleves.enpc.fr>]

Good evening everyone!

I have a problem when writing audio tracks from a CD to my HD.
My PC slows down a *lot*  when copying tracks from an audio
CD, but not when I'm reading data (neither when I'm burning a CD).

I use xcdroast as a frontend to cdrdao and its siblings, but I had the
same problem with the command line tools.

The CD and HD are on separate IDE controllers, so I don't see where the
problem is...

any clue someone ?

TIA,
Romain
