I'm a bit disappointed; I expected at least an increase of twice the
speed...

Previous burner:		Sony 8x4x32x
Replacement:		Lite-on 24x10x40x

Burning data, I tested the speed, and the following is the results I
got...

Sony:		527MB in 8 min 13
Lite-on:		527 MB in 5min13

Wow! A speed increase of a whole 36%

WHOPPY DO-DA!!! :)

Can't even manage to be twice as fast! Yet they claim three times
faster (24/8)

Also, another thing, with the Lite-on I burnt 2 copies of the same
thing.
The first was on a Mitsui Gold CDR @ 16x (max speed allowed - as
reported by Nero)
The second was on the new GAT CDR @ 24x (max speed allowed - as
reported by Nero)

Guess what?

They both literally took the exact same time to finish!
