I tried that, but as it seems without any effect on the drive's speed.
Maybe my efforts were not sufficient :)
Or maybe it is because the drive does not seem to spin as fast as the
Pioneer. It looks like when reading a DVD-RW it takes about 1.2 seconds
to read 10 MB of data; when I insert the Asus-CD, the drive spins
audibly faster, but surprisingly takes about 3 seconds to read 10 MB.

Yes, it actually does.

I remember that :)
Actually I thought I had participated, but that appears to be a false
memory.
For the record: afair the Plextor PX-810SA did nothing of that sort, Nor
does the 'TSSTcorp' 'CDDVDW SH-224DB' in the other machine.

I thought they just mean that it spins down after a few minutes, but who
knows? On the disc that came with the drive there is a "ASUS
E-Green.exe", so maybe we would need to install this first to fully enjoy
the Wonders of "E-Green"? :)
