Unfortunately I can't say. it is a new laptop I am using and have never tried EAC on it till now. I have seen a number of reports of this new version ripping slowly, certainly slower than it has in the past. dbpoweramp uses accurip for verification as well so I feel comfortable using it for accurate rips.
