What OS? If you're using something older than XP (I'm not that familiar with XP yet), make sure "enable DMA" is checked for your HD in your system's device manager. I know this seems obvious, but I made this mistake. A couple years ago, my PC seemed to slow waaaay down and I didn't know why. I didn't think to check the DMA setting... it was fine last time I looked, but it had come UNCHECKED! hehe... When I finally realized this, (I won't tell you how long it took me), it was like a new computer again. lol@myself
A quick example:
* With DMA unchecked it took about 45-50 minutes to make a 670 MB iso (that was on a 1GHZ Athlon with 512MB ram 64MB nvidia geforce4 and 7200rpm 80GB HD). It also took forever to make a large dummy file.
* With DMA checked it took less than 2 minutes to make the same iso and even large dummy files only took a second or 2.
