You can look at the source to TextEdit for an example of removing the layout manager(s) from the text storage and then re-adding them, to prevent layout from occurring for a certain period. This would probably not be appropriate if you want to retain any layout information across this transition, but if all the text needs to be laid out again anyway, it could be useful.
