I have difficulty to get CD/DVD write speed above 1.6MB/s (10x for CD,
or 1.1x for DVD).
The problem seems to be the interrupt rate is high (70-80% of CPU) for
CD/DVD drive(r).
Your drive is probably in PIO4 mode (due to there being bugs in the
UDMA implementation on many drives). Check hw.ata.atapi_dma and
"atacontrol mode acd0". You may find you can change to WDMA2 mode
which will significantly reduce the interrupt and CPU load. You will
need to do some experimenting with your drives to see what works for
you.
