Turning off 'Auto-Flow'

The early spreadsheet packages had the ability to turn of Auto-Recalc and let you manually invoke it in order to improve performance. Does InDesign support something like that for the auto-flow of text?

We're working with a longish document (a single story auto-flowed over 60 tabloid pages w/ 5 text columns each). We need to programatically insert (and sometimes interactively move) graphics after the text has been loaded into the document (text-wrap is set on for all of these objects). This takes a LONG time if it happens near the beginning of the story. Being able to turn off the auto-flow, and then invoke it after performing a batch of insertion / move operations would dramatically the performance! Is this possible, or if not, any chance of it being added to a future version?

Thanks,

-- Greg
