A bit complicated to explain, but anyways: my application keeps
a JavsScript program and a graphical representation of (parts of)
the program in sync. The JavaScript code is treated as the "model".
The information, which is required to paint the graphical elements
(location of boxes, bend points of arrows between boxes etc.) is
stored as JSDoc comments in the source code.
Something like
/**
* @box {x=5,y=5,with=100,height=100}
*/
box1 : { .... },
/**
* @box {x=5,y=100,with=100,height=100}
*/
box2 : { .... },
"Normally" a listener listens to document changes and triggers
an ASTParser which controls the graphical representation.
For example, if someone adds a 3rd "box" object to the source code,
the code is re-parsed and a 3rd "box" painted.
In case of changes, which affect only the graphical representation,
only the comments in the JavaScript code are affected and I can
be sure, that there are no structural/semantic changes in the
code, i.e. (computationally expensive) re-parsing the document is
not required.
Thanks for reflecting on my problem!

There are other things that depend on the document changed events.
Disabling those can result in lots of unexpected problems and therefore
it's not supported to (temporarily) disable the notification. I assume
you implement your own editor. In that case what you really want to do
is tweaking the reconciler so that he only reconciles the model when needed.
