According to the Blu-ray Disc specification, 1x speed is defined as 36Mbps. However, as BD-ROM movies will require a 54Mbps data transfer rate the minimum speed we're expecting to see is 2x (72Mbps). Blu-ray also has the potential for much higher speeds, as a result of the larger numerical aperture (NA) adopted by Blu-ray Disc. The large NA value effectively means that Blu-ray will require less recording power and lower disc rotation speed than DVD and HD-DVD to achieve the same data transfer rate. While the media itself limited the recording speed in the past, the only limiting factor for Blu-ray is the capacity of the hardware. If we assume a maximum disc rotation speed of 10,000 RPM, then 12x at the outer diameter should be possible (about 400Mbps). This is why the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) already has plans to raise the speed to 8x (288Mbps) or more in the future.

Basically.... 1x BDR would burn a 800MB CD in about 22 seconds.
Let's go out on a limb and say you actually fill up a 25GB BDR.
It would write on 1x the full 25GB in 11 minutes.
Now a 2x which is 72mbps would write the full 25GB in... 5 minutes

If my research is correct 52x CD-R is about 7.8mbps...which is significantly slower than 1x BDR...

enough speed for you Jonbo or a lil sluggish?
