Perform large operations in Meteor

Question

I am doing some operations on a rather big collection in Meteor. I perform some updates on different collections. I know from VBA that I can turn of screenupdating and calculation before performing large tasks and turn it back on when I'm finish. Should I do something similar in Meteor? I am not interested in seeing the numbers change on the page while the operations are being performed since the numbers are not relevant/meaningful before all the operations are finish.

Well anyway if you block the event loop it's going to freeze, so... — Kyll, Jul 01 '15 at 12:51

Because Meteor is single threaded it's not possible to "freeze screen update" in Meteor itself.

But it seems there is a plugin for that.

There is also this question that discusses background tasks in Meteor.
