Prevent before_save and after_save logic hooks from running on Import

I've got some rather expensive process that I don't want to run when importing lots of records. I've considered adding a field 'disable_hooks_c' or something similar to manually disable or ignore events that are triggered due to an import. However, it seems like there should be a way to detect when an entry is being created via the Imports module. 

Is there a native (non-hack) way of accomplishing this?
