I'm in a similar situation. I use a shell script to control ripping with
cdda2wav, some perl script to rename tracks (cddb) and then lame to encode at
192kbps.

Some stats on my AMD K6-2 500Mhz box:

	cd1 length: 53mins, 17.6sec
	  enc time: 28mins, 23secs 
	            (not processor time cause I was do other stuff while this
		    was happening, might have been slightly faster)

	cd1 length: 78mins, 00.0sec
	  enc time: 45mins, 29secs 
		    (as above)

I'm sure there are faster encoders, but I'm happy with lame.

I use "$ process-cd.sh" ;)

I set this up quite a while back and I know there are 101 different front-ends
that do this sort of thing so you probably won't have to "roll your own".
