Burning MP3s in Nero

Someone I know went from an 8x HP burner, to a LiteOn 24x burner. He said when he tries to burn mp3 music in audio format, in the newest version of Nero, it takes longer to do ( about 8 to 9 minutes at 24x), than, trying to do it at half that speed. He has an AMD 500 mhz with 256mb ram, 15gb harddrive. I read something in Nero's help that when burning mp3s it taxes the processor. My question: what can he do to burn the Mp3's faster to a cd?
 
If he is converting the mp3's to a regular audio cd then he is probably proccessor bound. The only other thing I can think of is to ensure that dma is enabled on his system (on most modern systems it won't cause a problem, but some older systems have problems with enabeling dma.)

EDIT: System means hard drives and cd, DVD, cdrw drives.
 
I might be a little off track here but what is he trying to do.

The taxing of the CPU is when the MP3 files are converted to audio tracks on the fly. If he is burning the MP3 files using this method then it will be quite a strain on the processor. However, if he wants to store the MP3 files on CD in an unaltered format, then they need to be burnt to CD using the DATA method as opposed to creating a music CD. 😉
