How to disable auto refresh (takes over 3 mins!!) of citations every time I insert a new citation?

Hello Mendeley team, I saw that I'm not the only one with this issue, maybe meanwhile there's been implemente some kind of workaround? Every time I insert a new citation, the whole amount of citations in the document gets updated, which is a pain: • First of all, it prompts me with a "Keep the manual edit" dialogue for EVERY citation that I have copied into the footnote. As the plugin can't handle citations in footnotes, copying it to the footnote manually is the workaround that you guys suggested, if I recall that correctly. So: Each time I insert a new citation, I have to confirm more than 25 (until now, that is) so-called 'manual edits'. • It takes about 2 minutes (or more, depending on where in the document I'm inserting a citation), until the {inserting} thing finally gets replaced by the entry, and it takes another minute before the whole document has been completed. I'm writing my PhD thesis and I have a document of approx. 130 pages of length so far, but only approx. 25 pages have serious citations inserted, then some more here and there. I don'T know how to count them, so I can't tell how many. The total in the bibliography is at approx. 100 as of now. The bibliography takes about 3 minutes to complile as well, which I don't care much about because I can do that in the very end. Considering that I now only have a fraction of what I'm going to arrive at in the final stage of the work (250-300 pages and maybe something like a 1000 entries in the bibliography), I am really, really scared that this whole thing is not going to work out. How can I get rid of the auto refresh until it actually matters if there are numbers to be updated etc., i.e. upon export? I'm running Word 2011 on OSX 10.8.5 on a MBP Retina with a 2.6 GHz Intel i7 and 16 GB or RAM. Thanks for any help! Chris
