I just remembered something about long documents. As you go past 100,000 words, rendering time starts escalating with increasing rapidity. Thus at 100,000 it renders in about 10 seconds. At 117,000 it's about 15. I did tests with a test file consisting of 500,000 words, rendering (either changing the lyx window size or converting to Postscript) takes several minutes. Therefore, if your book goes much over 100,000 words, you'll want to follow the instructions on http://www.lyx.org/help/ to split the file into separate part or chapter files.
