I could not tell from the code (just from the time it takes to implement the function), but it seems BWFME calculates an MD5 before embedding it with --MD5-embed. This makes the process potentially much slower, especially when implementing these functions on a large set of files that includes a subset of files with embedded MD5 data.
A logical sequence for both --MD5-Verify and --MD5-embed (although perhaps not so for --MD5-embed-overwrite) might be:
Read the file to see if MD5 data exists in the file
