Try turning off "error correction"

Might wanna check to see that DMA for your cd drive is enabled as well. There are plenty of how to's on the Internet. That will speed things up lots if it got disabled somehow.

How do I turn off "error correction"?

When I first turn on the computer after it has been off for a while, the CD ripper works fine(between 1.5x - 2.1x), which is fast to me. Under these conditions its like 18-20 minutes for a full CD. When I go to do the next Cd's after the 1st one, then it goes slow, ONLY 0.4 - 0.5x. Why?

Doh! Sorry for the dumbass question...

It seems that Sound Juicer has very few options indeed. Search the menus for error correction, and turn it off if possible. Otherwise, there are several alternative packages you could use, or even cdparanoia itself from the CLI.
