You're right that there is no "per document" way to do this, but you can
turn it on/off globally. Deselect the "Instant preview" checkbox in the

I thought you didn't want these things and now you're trying to improve

Add a line to your .lyx/preferences file:
    \\preview_scale_factor 2.0
(or whatever). The default value is 0.9.

Yes, this is bad and it's certainly a regression. I suspect that LyX 1.3.7
will not be needed sooner rather than later :(
