insane CPU usage

[jim10]

Can anybody tell me why my CPU useage is so high when burning DVDs? - it sits at 100% utilization all the time. It doesnt matter whether doing a copy, or burning the files from the HDD - its always the same.
I have tried Nero version 6 and DVD Clone and get same performance readings.

I am running with Asus A7V8X 2.6Ghz AMD 512DDR PC3200. The HDD is connected to IDE channel 1 (master) and DVD Writer - which is a PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D is connected as Secondary Master.

I am using 'Datawrite' media

Again, when burning 4.5gig of data from the HDD to the DVD it takes 30 mins at 4x speed. - Which seems to be DOUBLE what it should be.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

control panel/system/hardware/device manager/IDE ATA-ATAPI controllers
Expand that box and point to the secondary IDE channel, and click "properties".
Does the device hooked there (= burner) is displayed as Ultra DMA Mode 2 on the advanced settings tab?
