A good way to set up a quick look at your animation is to set up two
presets: One for a low-res fast look that only has a few frames, and another
for the final view.

Tools->Edit Resolution INI file
This gets you to quickres.ini, where you can add this:

[320x240 10 frames]
Width=320
Height=240
Antialias=Off
Initial_Frame=1
Final_Frame=10
Initial_Clock=0.0
Final_Clock=1.0

save the file, restart pov-ray, and the quick-res dropdown will now have an
option labeled "320x240 10 frames". The frames are scattered evenly
throughout your film, so you get an overall look at what it's going to step
through.

You can also create another for your favorite hi-resolution version, and add
antialiasing, quality, etc. to it.
