It is the "test" render and it uses the output settings from the render room. It is not a "preview" render, which in many apps, is a phong based renderer.

So what higher quality setting did you change?

note: that scene..."Indoor/Afternoon" uses a sky light and indirect light under Global Illumination. bumping up GI quality settings can give you a huge setback in render times.

Also in a scene with GI lighting, Carrara has to precalculate the lighting for the entire scene, even if your test render, is only a small bit of the scene.
