Thanks. The biggest tip you gave me is ripping to an empty library,
instead of ripping to the full library. Dramatically improved my rip
times.

Where did you see that tip? Kirk's web site has a discussion about rip
speeds and library size, but I didn't see any specific solution; didn't
have any luck googling the group, either. Thanks.

Yes, in the article on my site, I mention that I use an empty library to rip and that it makes a difference.

"I finally got fast rips when I created a second iTunes library just for ripping - this proves that the problem is the library size, not the program itself, my optical drive, or my Mac. I can get up to 40x rips now, at the ends of CDs, compared to a max of around 22x with the superdrive."

But I've also mentioned it here a couple of times.
