I usually use grip, which handles it automatically. But I've tried command line and get the same results. I use the bare minimum for options: cdparanoia "11-12" test.wav cdda2wav -t 12 test.wav My POS 24x in my windows box at work actually gets about 24x. Of course, it's not using paranoia, probably just some basic implementation of cdda2wav.
