Is there a way of excluding a piece of code to a single action command?

This makes sense in my head, to elaborate... If I have a piece of code that is intensive in terms of many iterations etc, I don't want it to run every time I change a variable. Is there a way of holding off until the setup is finalised and then have some kind of way (maybe a button) to activate the intensive part? I thought about using a boolean but then I would have to both activate then deactivate, this could suffice.

Alternatively, if the heavy work is arriving at some numerical solution that's fast to verify but slow to calculate, you could put that output in a hidden variable. Then, an editing logic function can verify that value and recalculate it if necessary, ensuring the slow work is only done when the value needs to change. Naturally, this may or may not apply to your situation.
