ok - just checked.

Ripping to 192Kb/s MP3 is WAY faster. Around 3 minutes for a 52 minute CD while ripping to 160Kb/s AAC was closer to 5 minutes. That's on a 2.8GHz P4.

I guess that's a price to pay for higher quality music though :) (AAC vs MP3 - tests consistently show that AAC is better at equal bit rates).

EDIT: Just re-ran the same test using AAC with error correction on and got closer to 3-4 minutes? Bizarre.
