I see.

Frankly, I'd like to have that to be more like at least 10-20MB/s on a Celeron
733. Not to mention some even slower CPUs, that most of us would like it to
run on. ;)

I mentioned the 40xCD as a yardstick to compare the speed against. It is
deemed as something very slow, and your CPU activity while loading should
always have much better throughput than that.
