I can see why the rated speed affects the *write* speed, but why
does it affect the *read* speed? The disks I use are Panasonic
2-3x. Some Maxell disks at 5x are available in the US.

Up to yesterday I was running several versions of your original
cdrecord. As I mentioned in a previous response I have tried
cdrtools-2.01.01a24, as well as one of the forks called dvdrecord.
I was surprised to find that growisofs worked on -R disks, and
does write the disks at the rated speed.
