CPU usage varies from 2%-20%, with CDGrab consistently showing 0% in the TaskManager. Edge, Firefox, and OneDrive spike it to 20% now and then.
Each track results in a log entry similar to this:

Each song is listed as inaccurate, and the recording rate is pegged at 0.3x. This is true across multiple discs. Any optimization tips are welcome, or do I just have a POS drive?

Re: Insanely Slow Drive when using Secure Mode
That did the trick - getting about 5-6x secure recording now. I don't know squat about C2 pointers, so I figured I'd let the program detect it. Won't be doing that again.
