A programmer-type person told me that each incremental increase in CD-ROM
drive speed actually gets smaller and smaller. In other words, the jump in
speed from a 2x to a 3x is not as great as a 1x to a 2x. And so the jump
from 3x to 4x is even smaller (in the grand scheme of things).

This kinda makes sense, but then again it doesn't. Any ideas or comments,
anyone?
