I think the "recalculate crc" flagging is a little inconsistent, tbh - 
or maybe I should say it consistently recalculates it more often than it
needs to?  It probably makes sense to follow the existing examples of
when it's set, and if there's any cleanup/optimization to do, that can
be done later.
