[DUG] tMemo, Stop updating

Bloody stupid question I know, but I spent all day traversing 3 tons
of spaghetti code and my mind is mush.

Is there a way that I can tell a tMemo component not to keep updating
when I process all the lines.

I have a tMemo component with, lets say 5-10,000 lines. I want to
process through each of those lines updating certain ones where
necessary.

for i := 0 to Memo1.lines.Count - 1 do
    If (Memo1.lines[i] = 'I can use this line') then
         DoThingsToTheLine;

The problems is that I want to have the tMemo remain on the form, but
I don't want it to keep updating to try to keep up with the current
line that I'm processing.

I've already tried Memo1.Enabled := false, but the frigging thing
still keeps updating.

I don't want to make it invisible as it looks really horrible.

Any suggestions?

Steve
