Hmm...
  lilypond -p 0 my_file.ly    % for quick work
  lilypond -p 2 my_file.ly    % for a draft to print out
  lilypond -p 9 my_file.ly    % for the final score

Despite the joke, this is a semi-serious suggestion that I've been
hoping that somebody might be interested in for years.  There's a
bunch of options that we can enable or disable to change the
amount of processing power; it would be really nice if one (or
more) people seriously looked into this, and provided an easy way
to change between the "optimization" levels.
