have cdrw drive speeds plateaued?

it seems that there was a mad rush to 48... then quiet. since cdrom drives are barely faster than this, does that mean we've reached the maximum potential for cdrw drives (at least, for a while)? are new cdrws just around the corner? if so, how approx. how long?
note: this isn't just a general musings thread, i have an "old" 16x yamaha that's been acting up lately. i'd like to replace it with either the sony 40x or the lg 40x (or 48, but the price difference isn't worth the speed increase, and the sony can be flashed to 48). but i could hold back a few months if 60x burners are coming 'round... but waiting 6 months would be silly, considering the sony 40x is available now for $30 after rebates.
