I've got a XP2000+, PC 2100 RAM and a single IDE 7200rpm
drive. Writer is Plextor 241040A IDE, they don't make SCSI anymore
unfortunately :( Both devices are master on their own channel with no
slaves. I'd pretty much rule out a performance problem here.

I tried binaries and also built myself.

You can get binaries and sources at:
http://www.geoshock.com/cdrtools/

But the official location for sources is (ignore the alpha):
ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/alpha/

Note that the developer recommends to make them with smake under cygwin.
You can get smake sources from here:
ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/smake/alpha/smake-1.2a18.tar.gz
