    SVG filter effects won't "stop"

      Hi, so I am working with an Illustrator file (in Illustrator CC 17.0) with a large number of intricate SVG filter effects.  Occasionally I accidentally move or alter these en masse, and when I do, it takes my computer 10-15 minutes to finish applying the new effects whether I actually want them or not.  Of course, I could just hit the "stop" button, right?  Except all this does is it stops the progress bar from growing for that particular effect-- Illustrator keeps on applying the effect behind the scenes, and takes every bit as long to do this whether I hit "stop" or no.  It's kind of like "Stop" just means "Stop showing me your progress...  but go ahead and keep doing what you are doing."  And what I really want it to do is just STOP!  Suggestions, anyone??
