This is the timer I had in mind. http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtimer.html
It'd be able to delay a callback till later, and run it in the main thread without special treatment. Ultimately, it'd mean updating the plug outside of your `compute()` function, where your `compute()` is merely calling this timer, which is connected to something capable of updating your plug. At the end of the day, what you're asking is to aggregate multiple calls that Maya makes to `compute()` into a single call by an arbitrary amount of time. It isn't going to be pretty. The more robust option is probably the boolean toggle. If you have a drag context involved, you could automatically set the boolean toggle to `False` when entering drag, and reset it to `True` once done. That way, you'd probably get the effect you're looking for.
