There are no pdb calls to change the view settings.  I've always duplicated the image and worked on the duplicate without it being displayed.  Also disable the undo stack of this duplicate to save memory.

Subject: [Gimp-developer] Suspending display update

I have a python plugin that does very many bucket-fills (potentially 
several thousands) on small selections. While it runs I see the 
selections in the image window (but curiously, not the painting), and 
the painting on the layer thumbnail in the layers list. I assume theses 
display update take a significant amount of CPU and the script could run 
faster without them? Is there some way to suspend these updates or is 
the only technique to duplicate everything in a display-less image and 
copy back the result?
