If you make use of extensive event-tracking, functions for that could be spread all over the website-code. And if you have different types of content on your site this could also be different for each of them.

Not only during development & setup but also on server maxload-times (see #5347)
it could be really helpful to have a possibility to stop event tracking (and with this "event firing") for a complete website using only a single "switch" but keep normal page tracking working...

any ideas howto do this best are very welcome

If too many events are tracked, maybe it is something Piwik should work around, or that could be changed in your code?

What is the use case when you would like to"turn off" all events?

Maybe we could implement a disableTracking(); in JavaScript that would turn off all tracking?

The best way to disable event tracking is to disable the Events plugin.
