I dont understand why it is like this. DMA, 32-bit is on. Its using a
Promise TX2 UDMA/133 card. Should be enough. LG GSA-4120B is the burner
model.

Are you using an ide cable rated for 133?
Um. Sounds like a red herring to me. The drive only supports 33 MB/s.
The manual, which can be found at
http://us.lgservice.com/jsp/common/download.jsp?DOC_ID=KROWM000058431&...
(phew) says (page 10):
Performance:
Data transfer rate
*Sustained CD-ROM : 6000 Kbytes/s (40X max)
DVD-ROM : 22160 Kbytes/s (16X max)
*Burst(ATAPI) 16.6 Mbytes/s (PIO Mode 4), (MULTI-DMA Mode 2)
33.3 Mbytes/s (Ultra-DMA Mode 2)
So 33 MB/s is all you're going to get out of the drive interface. And
this is enough for 16x DVD.
Hope this helps,
James.
