CD-Burner overclocking itself????

I had a very weird thing happen a couple of days ago - I was burning a CD with CloneCD 4, which reports actual burn speed.
I have a Lite-on 1610B burner, but according to CloneCD the data rate maxed out at 3608 Kb/sec, for a 20.50X burn speed.
It did it on 2 consecutive burns, and both discs seem fine...they were game backups, mixed data and audio tracks. I burned another
disc of some other type a day or so later, much smaller burn, and the burn speed only got up to around 18X.
I've been using this burner for a while, and CloneCD never showed anything above 16X as the rate.
Anybody got any ideas about what is causing this? Is the burner about to go poof?
 
possibility: the "reported" burn speed could be the speed at which it fills the cache- especially if your CD has "burn- proof" or similar technology.
 
Yes, It does have burn-proof, but the speed boost came well into the burn, not at the beginning when the cache would be filling.
The second CD was about 680 meg or so, and took 4:21 to complete.
The speed did fluctuate, but like I said, I have done a LOT of burning with this unit, and never saw a reported speed above 16.00X
Very Strange....but would be nice if it could duplicated somehow to another drive.
