try here

down load the blur scripts, there is one called
Blinders:

Helps with projects such as ride films, where there's a lot of geometry that gets processed needlessly. Basically, if an object isn't visible to the camera at a given frame, (like you've already passed it and it's behind the camera now) it's still getting analyzed during the preparing objects stage, wasting render time. This wasted time can become tremendous when you have a really large environment, as in when you're doing tunnel blast scenes for ride films. So, what you do is create a box that follows your camera, everything inside this box at a given frame will be given a visibility track with a value of 1, everything outside the box will be given a visibility track with a value of 0, so now objects are only visible if it's near the camera inside the box.

hope this helps, ive never used it but it sounds like it does what your after.
