Skip summarizing data on a layout

Is there a way to skip summarizing data on a layout? I have a situation where I need to "Show all records" in a script. The summary fields then have to summarize which takes forever and the data I need to get to doesn't even involve those fields. Is there a way to tell filemaker not to summarize while leaving those fields on the layout?... or perhaps you may know a different work around.

Thanks!

I'd create another layout without the summary fields, and a button to "Show Summaries" that navs to the other. Perhaps, you'd give the user a warning if the found count is over a certain number that it'll take a while for the report.

I'd use a tab control that defaults to an empty tab and put the summary fields on a second tab.
