Hello again Felix!
I had the same problem today and here is the only solution I found :
Let's say that I have a CPSet with a parameter named "Preset".
Everytime my operator is called, I check the value of "Preset" and the
value of the UserData attached to the UpdateContext of my Operator. If
they are the same, I let my operator compute the big thing, if not, I
just return. And I don't forget in both cases to set my UserData to the
value of the Preset param before leaving the Op!
Of course you can keep track of many parameter values you don't want
they trigger the Operator, store it in a structure and then store the
structure in the UserData!
Hope this will help you...
