Staffers were testing dual-layer DVD drives when they found that InCD4 DVD-burning software, by Nero AG (formerly Ahead Software AG), performed up to 40 percent slower than competing applications (such as Roxio Inc.'s Drag-to-Disc) on systems running SP2. InCD4 ships with many drives, including those from Lite-On Technology, Plextor, and Sony.

This isn't about Nero Burning Rom, or NeroExpress, but InCD4. That program is for making a CD-RW act like a hard drive - you can drag and drop files onto it, delete them, etc. Having it installed probably slows down all access to CD or DVD drives. I know when I tried out the counterpart from Veritas it mucked things up. It's not a very good idea anyway.
