k3b takes ages scanning CDs devices

Dear All

k3b takes ages scanning CDs devices. My configuration is:

# /sbin/hdparm /dev/dvd

/dev/dvd:
 IO_support   =  1 (32-bit)
  unmaskirq    =  1 (on)
 using_dma    =  1 (on)
  keepsettings =  0 (off)
  readonly     =  0 (off)
  readahead    = 256 (on)
 HDIO_GETGEO failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
#

and the recording speed is fine. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Paul
