I've no such problem with my CD and CDRW drives (both ATA), the speed
increases with the block size, that's all:

The CD:

$ dd if=/dev/racd0c bs=2k of=/dev/null
325277+0 records in
325277+0 records out
666167296 bytes transferred in 152.378786 secs (4371785 bytes/sec)

$ dd if=/dev/racd0c bs=4k of=/dev/null
162638+1 records in
162638+1 records out
666167296 bytes transferred in 129.569401 secs (5141394 bytes/sec)

$ dd if=/dev/racd0c bs=8k of=/dev/null
81319+1 records in
81319+1 records out
666167296 bytes transferred in 129.322487 secs (5151210 bytes/sec)

It seems block sizes bigger than 8k give slower transferts...
