I don't have an answer, but I have a similar problem. Mine isn't
consistent though; it only sometimes happens, I haven't noticed whether
there's a correlation with mains power, and it seems to be about twice
normal speed instead of 3 times.

Mine is also a Toshiba - a Tecra 8100.

Any tips appreciated.
