JDMedia if the object is meshsmoothed, you can set the meshsmooth to zero iterations, and the render values to the amount of iterations you would like it to be smoothed to. Your viewport displayed mesh will be lower poly, but render @ higher poly. Pretty sure there is a way to display a proxy object in place of a high poly 1 as well, check the help file.:beer:
EDIT
Actually not sure if that will help with loading time, but it helps with viewport speed, let me know if it helps!

Some of the most common problems of this i've seen on the job are...

#1. The winblows station has not been rebooted in days

#2. Photoshop is left open and taking up all the resources, along with 2 gigs of ram of texture edits.

if you are working with editpolys, then put a meshSelect or editMesh on top of the stack, this will speed up the viewport alot.
