switch to view as box instead of wireframe

another trick is to build models in sections rather then all at once and also don't do textures until the model is complete, use basic whites greys and blacks, make sure to group items together and label them so its easier to texture later

use the solo mode! This is an invaluable tool. A better alternative to a file that huge, however, is to make each part of the file separately, in different files. Then, at the end when you're ready to do a final version, pull them all in using either the file/merge... command or by saving the parts as object presets. --flick

Turn the nano window to show only the background. This way the nano window does not have to update each time you reposition the camera. You won't have to wait for it to render.
