Effects of CD-ROM Speed?

[roberts5]

I'm curious if anyone has any information on the effects of changing the CD-ROM Speed? There are three options: Fast, Normal, and Silent. Silent is defiantly quieter, but at what cost? I haven't done any testing and was hoping someone else might have some information on the read/write speed/quality effects of changing this.

If no one has anything I'll look into it.
