You can use XYZ::set_coordinates_are_optimized() to reduce the work a bit.
As another helper, you can use the IMP::SaveOptimizeds class to save the current state about what is optimized and then restore it when you are done.
As an alternative, if you want a softer version of keeping things in place, you can use the DistanceToSingletonScore to attach a particle to a location with a spring.
