Why would Vista be so slow?

I am concerned about two specific operations which are extremely slow.

1. I went to burn a Utility CD with about 200 MB of tools and applications.
On my old XP Pro system this took about 10 minutes from start to finish. On
my new super-fast Vista Ultimate system, Foxconn A7DA-S MB / AMD Quad Core
950 Phenom / 4 GB RAM / SATA DVD - CD Burner, the same CD Burn took over 40
minutes.

2. My Canon Scanner would scan a full color page at 1200 dpi in about 3
minutes. The same operation, with the new Vista driver, takes almost 60
minutes.

Is there something I could have missed in the Vista set-up? This is not a
pleasent situation.

Thanks
