FWIW, in my recent experiments I've found that -mc 0 and -noskip are the 
_essential_ factors.  Doing an audio copy on the first pass didn't seem 
to have any adverse effect (over two hours), in fact I'm still doing it 
this way.  I know it makes very little difference overall but at least I 
can easily see what pass I'm on without using ps/top ;)
