P: Add the possibility to disable full image preset preview

In the latest update, full image preview has been added when hovering presets.
While this is fantastic and really useful most of the time, when handling large files like stitched panoramas, my computer crawls to a stop as my 7700K is maxed out for each preset.
Could it be possible to disable that in the settings for such case ?
Thanks

We are currently looking into options that will satisfy both users who need to preview preset application in Loupe view, and those who need to disable it. The existing feature request has been around quite a while to turn this on but it is obvious further tweaking of the implementation is needed. 

To flesh this out a bit: We have a size-able group of users who like this new behavior as well as a large group for whom this is a workflow disruption. How would you prefer to see the disabling of this new behavior? 

Off by default and on by a preference setting?
The reverse (On by default and turned off by a preference setting?)
A non-preference way of activating/deactivating (button, keystroke, etc)?

it's ridiculous how slow it is. Even I notice some problems when I try to crop an image always I get for a half of second previous one that I crop on the main image. Not sure why but this last update was a big mistake. 

Please, this need to be fixed as soon as possible as paying monthly for this kind of development team is not looking good for future reference.

Another frustrated user with a request that this be added to a checkbox. I was happy enough with the small preview in the navigator.

A good way of implementing this new "preview over hover" feature (if you don't want to have to switch it on in preferences) would be to have it only activate while hovering and holding down a keyboard button like CMD or ALT. That would be efficient.

I am currently rolling back to v7.2 because of this issue.  I cannot stand to have presets previewing on the large image (in addition to the small navigator window) as the mouse hovers over the preset name and also, my new laptop is sluggish.  Sigh, I lost a lot of time yesterday and today trying to work on a few client's photos.

Is there any way I can downgrade to the previous version of Lightroom Classic?
In Creative Cloud app click the down-arrow next to Lightroom Classic CC and select 'Other Versions' then 7.2.

Please, please please add this ASAP. Lightroom slows to a crawl as I am selecting my presets, and then inevitably a preset that I've hovered over gets "stuck," OR I will click the preset and it doesnt actually change the settings but it LOOKS like it changed the settings because the preset is stuck on there. So then after I think Ive edited it, I am about to export and find that some of my files aren't edited. Is there any way I can downgrade to the previous version of Lightroom Classic? I only installed this version because I installed a new SSD drive and did a clean install of everything. Everything is faster now EXCEPT Lightroom Classic due to this preset resource hogging issue and its just killing me.

Gotta agree on the majority sentiment in here that producing a preview on simple mouseover is less than mature design. Adobe must be coding on some very fast machines to not notice this problem. I want to move the mouse around without having it activate things just by hover. It is not so hard to click on an item you want to preview, and double-click to actually apply it.

Perhaps the designer would rather be making a GAME. Please don't do that here.
