It may be lame that is slowing things down.  I notice that replaygain takes 
forever.  If I deselect it in SoundKonverter (not a ripper, but a program 
that uses lame) the mp3 encoding goes much quicker.  If you have control of 
the lame command use the --no-replaygain flag.

One way to diagnose this is to try ripping to a non-mp3 format.  I noted in 
your email that you tried to drag and drop ogg.  Did this take as long?
