Are the DVD and hard drive both on the same ATA cable? That would slow down copy time significantly compared to using seperate ATA interfaces.
AFAIK both the mac-mini and Powerbook only have a single ATA interface, which impacts performance in certain cases (such as copying optical>HDD) considerably, especially if the optical drive starts dying.
