Curious CDROM speed q

I have a system which has a SCSI hard disk and an (allegedly) 32x SCSI CDROM. I also have an HP IDE CD writer, which does up to 8x.

When I burn CDs I use CloneCD to copy direct from the SCSI CD to a disk image - i.e. to the SCSI disk on the same bus - then chuck the image from the SCSI disk to the IDE burner.

Question - how come my SCSI CD won't do more than 8x when doing this ? Nero CD-Speed shows about 4x, and for the techies amongst you, the CD itself is a TEAC 523S with v3.0a firmware.

Any ideas ?
