Using dBpoweramp

When ripping CDs, what causes dBpoweramp to have to "re-rip" a track (at a snail's pace)? And what's the diff between a "secure" and an "insecure" re-ripped track? Is all this a function of the cd or the digital drive doing the ripping or both?

Thanks Mapman. If there are a lot of frames for re-ripping, I just skip that track and go onto the next one as I have no patience.

Mapman - CDs giving me problems are those I borrowed from local library that have seen a lot of play. I always clean with Optrix but it can only do so much.
Another question re: dBpoweramp. I rip in FLAC using "lossless level 5 (default)" setting. Has that been a mistake? Should I have been using highest level 8 or even the "uncompressed" setting? Sound quality using my Bryston BDA-1/BPA-1 combo is outstanding and I certainly don't want to re-rip my 900 CDs. What are your thoughts?
