Bug Description
Binary package hint: k3b
K3b starts calculating the md5 sum of any image immediately after selecting the image file in the appropriate dialog. This calculation uses alot of resources, especially with large dvd images. There appears to be no option to prevent this md5 calculation from starting automatically, nor any way of stopping it once it commences other than starting the burning process.
K3b should not do this calculation automatically at all unless it is needed or useful, such as when there's an md5sum available to check against, or when it's needed for verification purposes; in the vast majority of cases this is not so. Also, there should be an option to turn it off completely.
Described behaviour may or may not also be the background of bug 51939.
(Kubuntu 6.06, K3b 0.12.14, KDE 3.5.2)

0.7.5:
MD5 sum is only calculated on demand (but still asynchronous)
If I read this correctly things should be fixed in a later version.
