Is there a way to speed up or disable "Querying Disc Information"?

Hi all,
foobar2000 is a great tool, thanks to the creator/developers!
I am wondering if there a way to speed up or disable "Querying Disc Information" when opening an audio CD for ripping. 
I don't need to query any DB for a bunch of CDs (40!) I have since they are a sound library I bought.
It takes over a minute on my PC and I have not found a way to disable it.   Or maybe I just don't understand what it is doing...

Try Preferences > Advanced > Tools > CD Ripper - disable "Automatically look up...".

Thanks.  But it is unchecked already so I guess it would be slow because there are a lot of tracks? Some CDs have 80+ tracks.

It's also probing the disc for pregap information.
