I reckon the total time from hitting restart in OS X to arriving at a fully functioning XP desktop is around 1 minute. Decompressing a 300MB FLAC on a decentish system is going to take around a minute at most, during which time you can perform the arduous task of editing 4 letters in a text file. As the OP uses Toast I'm going to assume he/she uses OS X as a matter of course so that's going to require another minute of reboot time after burning the disc.
I make that an overall loss of a minute, maybe 30 seconds, along with having to shutdown whatever torrents, background processes etc. the OP was running at the time, which is pretty fucking ridiculous in my neck of the woods
