The big thing with IDE-anything is CPU utilization.  It'd be more important 
o
ensure the system doesn't get busy (or have a "fast enough" (whatever that
means) processor to handle the load) during writes.  The newer drives are now
implementing packetized writing, meaning the writer can stop and start, much
reducing the age-old buffer underruns that plague normal CD writing.  
owever,
older CD drives won't read the packetized CDs so upgrading those would be
necessary.
The speed/time to fill a CD would be a fuction of the writing speed - 2x is
the standard for low-end (~$500 U.S.) writers.
