I've had similar issues, but the CPU usage stats you provide disagree with me.

Have you tried removing the harddisk and burner from the device manager, and let windows add them on a new reboot? In my case, that solved a problem with DMA, which may (or may not) be your problem too. The "use DMA if available" is not a good indication here - if Windows thinks it's unavailable, it won't use DMA. Focus on the Pioneer with your investigation here.

In fact, I have the exact same DVD burner, without said issues. But then I have a P4 2.6c and a WD raptor harddisk. I used to have this problem with a Philips 52x cd burner, and solved it as mentioned. I use Nero 6 as burning program, by the way. Looking at your hardware, I'd say this should *not* be happening at all, period.
