Hi ;-) My comments weren't aimed at anyone in particular Sophocles. But I have recieved numurous PMs etc about this topic. I guess the avatar & my standing at a certain forum invites that. You are right of course that more information can be of help in many ways. My favouite setup includes a BenQ drive with MCSE speedpatched f/w allowing upto 15.7x ripping speed Dualcore processor with Raided drives, along with the fact that I write @ max speeds (currently upto 20x with Samsung SH-S203B). I am often able to rip/compress/write quicker than many users can rip. It is all about setups. Plus the size of the source disc as you point out, may mean little or no compression. So I was not having a go at you per se. More a response to those who linger in the background.
