You should disable auto rendering on the model tab. Reload reference by clicking on the right button on a scene. Nevermind the yellow warning icons as they don't show on an export. Render the specific scene you need. When you have the time reload the wholed document. A fast way is to click on the auto render again an go take a coffee.
This has quite literally given me back hours of my life and make LO a lot more pleasurable to use! Love when you find a nifty little solution to a vexing problem...
