Have you nearly finished your project? Is your poor computer grinding to a halt? Don't worry, Ash has a Python script that can help. 

The script
-----------------------------------
import maya.cmds as cmds
swatchState= cmds.renderThumbnailUpdate(q=True)
if swatchState == 0:
 cmds.renderThumbnailUpdate (1)
 print("\nSwatches turned ON")
else:
 cmds.renderThumbnailUpdate (0)
 print("\nSwatches turned OFF")
