You can even limit the preview pages to just first one or two pages in document or decrease the dimensions of the preview.
Turn off Live Drawing
Turn off the InDesign’s Live Screen Drawing in the Interface pane of your Preferences. There is also a delay option that will help you when you hit on an item, such as an image, then you have to wait a split second to move or transform it. As you perform it you will get the live preview of the transformation. If you have set this option to immediate then InDesign will display every step of the transformation process.
Turn Off Hyperlink Verification
Your InDesign file is very fastidious about checking hyperlinks. You can even say that it is “hyper” about it. InDesign continually checks the validity of URLs in hyperlinks that can really slow down the file having lots of hyperlinks. So it is better that you turn off the obsessive checking by deselecting “Auto Update URL Status” in Hyperlinks panel menu.
