This was actually a hardware problem. Was slow with HP GWA4166b, good speed with Pioneer DVR-111DSV I work for an organisation that refurbishes usable computers, so all hardware is well used, donated systems. The HP may be at the end of its life or just not compatble with the rest of the system.

It's much, much faster for me, if I reboot in windows and burn with nero, or, if I rip the cd to disk using rhythmbox and then burn it from the compressed files. Maybe brasero has a problem with my cd-drive? It's been like this with previous ubuntu installations, and it's still like this with intrepid ibex.
