A component (or a custom component) to buffer values

I am interested in knowing whether or not Grasshopper has a component that can buffer some strings.

I have this custom component (picture above) that feeds settings to my main component. The Settings component opens up a new window that allows you to set a number of things, including "results per minute (up to a day)", and the date ranges.

Once you are done setting the settings, you click "OK", and the component starts calculating. Now, that's fine if I am calculating a small set of data (like a couple days), but as I increase the increment to a minute of data over a span of a year, the couple million sets of calculations on my machine would take over two-three minutes. Say I make a small mistake in my settings, I would have to wait 2-3 minutes of my component calculating (along with Grasshopper freezing, which is no fault of Grasshopper itself) in order to make further adjustments.

The Settings outputs like this:

I would like to know whether or not I could place those settings into a "buffer". Only after I click a button like below will it begin calculations. I can do custom C# components if necessary.
