I think the document is misleading. The arg 'double' seems to be to write in the fastest speed that the drive will support. I know I write a full CD in around 15 minutes on my (4x) HP 8100i drive after specifying "prepdisk double". (I run 3.x here; 4.x has a whole new ATA driver which may change this.)
