Default Why do I need 25 minutes to read content of a 4.5 GB DVD+RW ?

I inserted a 4.5 (simple, single-layer) DVD+RW burned with ISO format with 10 (big)
files on it. When I want to copy the content inside WInExplorer from this DVD
to a local folder it takes approx 25 minutes.

Can this be true ?

How can I speed-up the reading ? Is there a parameter which I can modify?

The DVD drive is a LG GSA4163B which is officially able to read 16x

enable disk caching as per

You will need to configure the system for a perfmon log to verify if the
actual disk subsystem is slow or where the bottlenecks are
