If you have a newish machine with a P4 CPU, lots of RAM and a good CDROM you should be able to encode one album in under 3 minutes flat. Older machines with slow processors and too many programs running in the background are going to take forever......sorry but this is just the way life is my friend.
No matter what software you use if your machine is a POS there is not much you can do to speed things other than adding RAM, shutting down everything not required and maybe encoding while you sleep.
good luck,

yes, sure a good computer makes a difference, but you never tell anyone what format and bit rate you're referring to when you toss these x minutes per cd stories... Give more, whole information
Alco, transcoding between FORMATS is not advisable at all.... Different formats use different algorithms.
transcoding between BIT RATES is ok as long as you keep the BIT RATES in respectible ratio.
ex. transcoding a 256 MP3 into a 128 or 160 MP3 is ok
