testDVD vs. CD installation

I feel sorta dumb for never thinking about it, but if I put my unattended install on a DVD it should install faster than a CD, even if it is a 1 cd install. The reason is 1x in CD terms is 150 KBps, while a DVD is 1,385 KBps. So if you have a 16x DVD you should be transferring at 22,160 KBps, while a 52x CD would max out at 7,800 KBps. I think I will test it out and see what the install times are like. Unless I am a real dummy about media the DVD should be faster.
