Well, considering that (AFAIK) the profile is specific for the full-resolution 
raw pixels, applying it to the scaled preview is never going to be a very 
accurate approximation of the final results, I suppose... viewing a 
representative section of the image at 1:1 can give you a good sense of what 
it's doing, though. It would be interesting to have an option to "commit" a 
noise reduction setting in preview, which would require waiting (after a 
warning) while it was applied to the full image before scaling to preview, and 
stored for use as the basis of all further previews until a change was made to 
the noise reduction settings (or anything else that precedes it in the pipe). 
Don't know if that would be a very popular feature, though.

I would think that if you didn't have a "real" ND filter handy, you could use 
just about anything with those basic characteristics (tinted piece of plastic, 
etc.) over the lens, since image quality doesn't seem to be an issue... someone 
correct me if I'm wrong. :)
