I used "final" to render this, but use preview- and usually a 320 x 240- to do test renders. And these only take a couple of minutes. Plus the Open GL is really great now, so it is not hard to get a nice render set up right fairly quickly. But actually I render my true FINALS at a much higher resolution- since I have a use for these beyond just a hobby. Waiting for a high quality render is worth it!
