The ripper he's using is ripoff I assume (source code here: 
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ripoffc/ripoff-0.8.tar.gz?download  
extraction functionality contained in src/RipOffExtractor.c) . It uses 
libparanoia to do its job, like the cdparanoia command. On my system, 
ripoff has high CPU usage with a 2.6.16 kernel as well, but it reports a 
9.0x rate on average.
Could the fact that it has such high CPU usage be a possible reason I am 
experiencing a slower ripping speed (1.2x) when the patch that was git 
bisected is applied?
