PS2 Curse: The Eye of Isis ESR Compatibility?

Sorry if this isn't the right place! I didn't see a section specifically for ESR or ESR compatibility questions, (other than the main ESR release thread), so hopefully this is okay.

I'll start by saying that I'm very familiar with burning backups for use with ESR. I've done a few dozen already. I'm using r10e, and it works flawlessly with everything I've tried, except Curse: The Eye of Isis, which freezes at the first splash screen. I tried another burn, and got the same result.

I'm using good discs (Verbatim DVD-Rs), and burning at 2x (technically 2.4x). I've also verified my rip with Redump and it all looks good. If anyone else has this game, could you try making a backup and seeing if ESR will run it? Or if anyone knows that it's just not compatible yet, that'd be nice to know, too. I checked a few ESR compatibility lists and this game isn't listed at all, so maybe no one else has tried it and reported it yet. Thanks in advance for any help/information!

try to burn discs at half the max disc speed...so burn a 16x disc at 8x speed. slow speed is no longer recommended. i have burned a few slow that did work but the more recent ones ive done faster have all worked so far.
 
Huzzah, it seems that the new version (r10f) has fixed whatever was wrong! I've still made a comment in that thread, but thank you!

Is there a reason slow speeds aren't recommended anymore? Or a post somewhere where I could read about it? A preliminary search didn't yield anything.

The goal is to get as little jitter as possible when reading the burned disc. Simply burning at low speeds won't necessarily achieve that. If low speeds were all so awesome, don't you think they should have been the default in a lot of software and even recommended out of the box? Why did the industry bother with making faster burners and matching discs, if higher speeds = worse quality?

Did you use direct mode?

EDIT: My purpose of asking is to ascertain which mode is best-used by default.
