What about suspendRender option for template binding?

[DzenisevichK]

Several test cases:

1. jQueryMobile multi-page application (http://view.jquerymobile.com/master/demos/pages-multi-page/) where changes on one page case re-rendering template on another page. It will be good to re-render the second page on showing with this:

{
  data: data,
  suspendRender: !active()
}

1. When page have two modes: viewing and filtering (here filters selection and data statistics). Better to re-render filtered data after switching from filtering to viewing mode:

{
  data: data,
  suspendRender: filtering
}

The template binding does have an if option. Is that not what you want?

[DzenisevichK]

if binding will case re-rendering. I just want to delay rendering (no markup manipulation when suspendRender is true)

Thanks for the clarification. I was actually thinking today of the same thing.

+1 I also have a number of places where this would be useful in order to stop intermediate (unnecessary) GUI updates.
