The right question is why it freeze on your computer.

Did you tried to turn off multi-core cpu support in BQM queue settings and
see if it's better ?

Did you run digiKam in GDB and get a suitable backtrace when it freeze.
It's possible that a crash appear in Exiv2 shared lib, and not digiKam as
well. In this case the way to use Images -> Write metadata to image will
give the same king of freeze..

And easy way to disable metadata writting settings is not implemented. I
know that a bug report exist in bugzilla about this topic, but time is time
and it's missing to do all wishes.
