Subject:Saving audio files as MP3 incredibly slow

When saving .wav files loaded into Sound Forge as .MP3
files, I am finding the save for a four minute song (128
kbps) takes approximatly one hour to complete. I converted
an entire cd in batch mode it took 10 hours! Is this the
kind of performance I should expect? Surely there must be a
better way to do this! Any suggestions are appreciated.

Upon review I realized my first sentence might be worded poorly.
To clarify: the files were originally .wav format and Sound Forge was
used to save the files as .MP3 format.
