Time Saving ArcGIS tip: Stopping Redrawing of large Rasters or Polygons

Doesn't it annoy you when you move the data pane slightly in ArcGIS and the whole image redraws?! I know it annoys me,

When you move the data pane and a large layer starts to redraw, simple punch ESC and the redraw will be cancelled. You may not be able to see the layer anymore, but rest assured, it's still there, it just hasnt been drawn on the screen.
