This is the way I do it. If I need a fast test render of a complex object, I
declare a variable named "DEBUG" in my main pov source.

#declare DEBUG = true;

Then in my object code I put blocks like these

#declare MyComplexObject = object {
    object { blah blah }
#ifndef (DEBUG)
    object { more complex shapes blah blah }
#end
}

This way you only have to remove the DEBUG declare statement if you need a
full render.

Please note that there really is no right ot wrong way to do this, everyone
prefers a different method but it all comes down to the same results. Just
thought I would share my method :)

Cheers,
Peter
