Rips on MacMini and Macbookpro are very, very slow; on iMac or MacPro no problems #66

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. load CD
2.start ripping
3.rips sometimes start ok, then after a few seconds it becomes very, very slow
The funny thing is that on the MacPro and iMac (both OSX 10.7.3) they are quick 
enough; on par with iTunes with the same settings...

How about the reproducibility (always, sometimes, rarely, ...)?
nearly always 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
as fast as with the MacPro (2006) or iMac (2007)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
latest versions, OSX 10.7.3 (Macbookpro 2008) and 10.6.8 (MacMini 2011)

Please provide any additional information below.
I think it has something to do with the speed of the Disk drive. If you clearly 
hear the drive spinning the rip is going ok; otherwise you'll very softly some 
starting and stopping noises of the drive. 

Thanks

What is your ripper setting (XLD secure or CDParanoia, C2 pointer usage, etc)?

Generally the rip speed depends on the drive and disc status. It is very likely 
to happen that sometimes rips fast but sometimes slow.

The same happens for me, I am on a macbook pro and I'm using the app to decode 
FLAC to apple lossless files. At the start  it goes quite fast 5-6x real-time. 
then it slows down seriously, takes hours to convert one album. In the Activity 
monitor I see that XLD is only using 2-3% of my cpu capacity. This didn't 
happen when I first downloaded and used the app.

I am having similar issues on my 2014 Macbook Pro running Mavericks with my USB 
Samsung Bluray drive. Even on brand new pristine CDs it will start out pretty 
quick ripping the first song and then will slow to almost a complete halt. I 
would say I have had about a 30% success rate when trying to rip an entire CD 
to 320 kbps mp3s. Most of the time it will fail in the middle of one of the 
tracks and not try to rip the rest of the CD.
