I expect  that max burn speed is a  function of the version of cdrecord
on your system.  The max I can burn on eDesk 2.4 using the original
version of XCDroast is 8X with a Plextor 40x burner.  Using XCDRoast
alpha10 with Libranet on the same system I burn at 40x - maximum speed
of my Plextor.
I also take care to select blank CD's that are rated for 40x burning.
I've had very good luck with Fuji - haven't made a coaster yet.
