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

This is not an error that happens under some weird set of circumstances that slipped through the cracks in testing. The person doing the programming on this feature got feedback on their screen during each and every iteration of the programming process. So too the QC folks. The results were in plain sight... not masked by the complexity of the program.

This is a glaring example that Adobe has MAJOR issues with how they go about the process of development and for sure QC. If someone in Adobe wrote a specification for the programmer as to how this feature should work, with all of the recent emphasis to improve the speed, it seems STUPID that the spec did not address speed in some manner. 

If the programmer did not raise a flag during programming to the spec writers, also STUPID.

If the QC folks did not test it out on a broad spectrum of computers (which I highly suspect from other releases they don't) and say "hey guys this ain't gonna fly with the customers" this is also very STUPID.

I guess the real QC folks (we users) did object!

You had at least two chances (programmer and QC steps) at not letting this one out the door before it was ready for users. But you blew it. When oh when will Abode learn from their mistakes of the past? Remember the definition of stupid... doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Adobe: your "process" needs serious work.

PLEASE implement this. Its SO annoying scrolling around and my entire program is lagging because its trying to load 50 different presets. I don't want it on my full image, it makes everything slow and frustrating.

There has to be a way to turn full screen preview off soon. You can't even scroll down to History without hovering over presets, major distraction as well as CPU/fans run at max all the time.

Edit. Decided to roll back to 7.2, this is probably the first time ever I go back to an older version on any software since 90s. Preset based editing is just impossible when live preview flashes every preset when scrolling/hovering preset list and the computer is constantly running super hot.

Hmmm, I was wandering why my LR was crazy slow after the update. Sounds like it's not just me... Brushes and spot correction tool completely freezes up even on my normally super quick RAW Small files.

New features are great - but user need's full control and optimizations on the back end.This ask is probably the first of many!

This is nonsense. It's a major bug. This "update" is not even an update but some kind of joke. Preset list messed up, some memory hungry previews. The worst "update" ever.
