Super slow processing when RIPing a cd

I have a vista home premium quar core intel,4GB system . Most often when I
am ripping a cd the process flys right thru. Occasionally, when trying to
rip a cd it will go excrucuatingly slow--ie. maybe 15 minutes to do 20
tracks that are only 3 min. tracks. I opened my system resources and it
shows that I have 2.4GB of available ram so that shouldn't be the problem and
I am running no other applications. If I do a restart and try again, then
the same cd flys right thru. Does anyone have any idea as to what might be
the issue? Thanks.

probably another Vista exclusive, I use xp and nero for that without any
problems.

Maybe windows is having trouble reading the CD... Can you see errors or
retries?
