If you want to turn off the automatic spell checking for all of your documents, you can turn off real time spell checking in Preferences > General. That's a little different from what you mentioned in controlling it by paragraph tags, but because you were complaining about the performance when it was turned on, I thought this might be what you are looking for.

A reader commented that you can set language to "none", which turns of the spell checking. I've tried it with a few of my character and paragraph formats and it does seem to work and improve performance somewhat. FM10 with spell-checking on is still slower than FM8, but it's now probably usuable, or will be once I update some of my documents. I may need to create a DoNotSpellCheck character style for use on some things that don't have any special character formatting applied to them. It never even occurred to me that Frame had a "none" option for languages.
