Activesync, syncing too often...slow it down?

[Scrufdog]

I like to leave my phone plugged into the laptop since I install lots of programs, send over music/videos and such fairly frequently.

The one thing that bugs the heck out of me is that Activesync runs like every 10-15 minutes. Might not be that much of a problem, but my laptop is old and it slows things down a little bit.

Is there a way to either make it stop auto-syncing or at least make it sync less often?
