More to the point, one of the reasons that Sibelius overtook Finale (to 
whatever degree it has) was that the compile-to-preview times were shorter: in 
Finale, a large score took "several seconds", whereas in Sibelius is was 
"instantaneous" (or so the marketing went).

In other words, we're not even fighting a "my opera takes five minutes to 
compile where thirty seconds would be okay" issue — we're looking at "I want to 
see it RIGHT NOW".
