Hi zzNyQuilzz!
Firstly, I would check to make sure that DMA is enabled on your DVD-ROM drive and your harddrive. To do this under XP, right click on My Computer>Properties>Hardware>Device Manager and check the Advanced tab under Properties of your DVD-ROM drive and IDE controllers. Select "DMA if available" and then click OK.

Now test to see if you see an improvement in ripping speed. If you don't, then check out the Tools section of this site and download the ASPI layer. I tend to use the latest version available.

Hope this helps!
