Default dvd/cd drive very slow

i have a 40x dvd+- drive and it has worked beautifully for the first three
months i have had it. now all of the sudden the speed is gone. i has slowed
down to nearly 2X's speed when burning a cd or dvd. and this happens with
any type of file. what could this be and how can i fix it. thanks
matt
