I just did the same upgrade and the LiteOn was a huge improvement over the Sony.

Your system may not be configured correctly.
All test sites, as well as my own testing, puts 700 meg at around 4 min or less.

Took 2:34 to write Nascar4.
Sims Hot Date, a SD2 protected CD, 690meg in size, wrote in 3:45.
(SD2 was primary reason for upgrade, speed was added bonus).

But the best surprise was with media used.
Using CloneCD and 18 month old 12x generic media, was still able to do
a write at 24x, using the original Sims game, (SD1). Less than 4 minutes!
I've heard these drives could burn 16x media at 24x, but using 12x at 24x, WOW!
