Taking this into account why is it that SCSI is seen as better for burning?

The way i understand it, SCSI takes the load of the cpu when accessing
disks? so giving better performance because the controller does the work and
it frees up the CPU.

But When burning a CD its best not to do anything else because u run the
risk of making a coatser for whatever reason.

So if you have a computer just doing burning, and nothing else at one time,
and the burners are the same speed, what is the difference between SCSI and
IDE?

Thanks ...
