You can run the minimization without updates, and it is its own 'thread' so it might not take too much to get that working. But it's not trivial, I think. Check
http://sourceforge.net/p/jmol/code/HEAD/tree/branches/v14_2/Jmol/src/org/jmol/minimize/MinimizationThread.java and what calls that: http://sourceforge.net/p/jmol/code/HEAD/tree/branches/v14_2/Jmol/src/org/jmol/viewer/Viewer.java line 8240.
