I agree with Mike - especially considering that its impossible to know
that an AJAX operation will take less than 1 second to complete -
preemptively stopping a spinner from firing may cause more problems
than it's work.
With that said, here is how I would do it:
var doSpinner = true;
$(document).ajaxStart(function(){
if ( doSpinner )
// Show spinner
});
// ... when you want to stop it:
doSpinner = false;
$.get( ... );
doSpinner = true;
