TC, usually all it would take is to hide the GND net. In some cases it may be beneficial to also hide the larger VCC nets. To hide the net, Select the Browse PCB tab in the left explorer pane, Select Nets for viewing, select the net you want to hide, click the Edit button, check the hide checkbox. Visibly this will hide the GND ratsnest, not necessarily desirable but it solves the long delay issues.
