If by that you mean your updating the embedded object by double clicking on its smart icon in the layers palette and you change the object. If you commit changes Photoshop will update the smart object layers embedded smart object and render new pixels for the layer. After that Photoshop has no choice it has to apply all the smart filters on the layer to the new layer rendering to generate the composite pixels for the smart object layer.

JJMack Nov 27, 2013 7:25 PM (in response to KulorDS)If you do not like a feature like smart objects there is nothing forcing you to use it. Use some other features to do what you want. Please don't ask Adobe to introduce bug into smart object support.
You could work on your bump maps textures in external files. When your done some time in the future you could edit your project with the smart object layer and use replace smart object. Only then will all smart filters be applied to the smart layer with the replaced smart object.
Or if by CC Auto save Layer you referring to CC Generate feature you can disable that feature.
I have no idea what your referring to when you write "CC auto-saves the layer" being a feature. I know CC Generate will write layers out as web files but that more a Web feature then a 3d feature. Where do you see your layer being saved?
