Hi All

With current technology, cr-roms still tend to be quite slow, and have 
relatively poor transfer rates. I have noticed that on-line documentation
services tend to be quite slow and very annoying at times. 

Just wondering if there are any new innovations in the world of cr-roms, that
overcome the speed limitation of current cd-roms. What has been done - a 
complete redesign of the drives themselves, or some fancy caching technique,
or something else?
