This particular Symphony was generally slow, and I was only dealing with two tracks of audio. I have managed to get waveform re-draw to stop in the past with Command/Period on other systems.

For me, on a Mac Symphony, Cmd-. works, but I usually have to hit it a
bunch of times. I believe each press stops the current process, but if your
waveforms are on multiple tracks, it may be moving on to drawing the next
one once you interrupt the first one. Hitting multiple times usually snaps
it out of wanting to draw any, then I can get on with my life (switch to
non-waveform drawing sequence view).
