BUG in Font selection/dropdown? Its super slow!

Background: I have ~800 fonts (various styles included) installed so that is actually not much - some of my collegues have 2000+ installed which is also pretty normal in an advertising agency but with every update its getting worse: When I edit one text and change a font, it takes almost 4 seconds to show up the font-list. Well, yes on the next time it is faster but when I then search for another font it takes forever to display the list again! So I think this is because of the rendering of the font-style preview which is actually totally useless for me. The bigger the screenresolution, the longer the font-list, the longer the rendering of the font-preview takes and the slower the workflow is. Sucks! Is there an option to disable this? Thanks for any hint

Yikes! 800+ fonts! I work in a place designing ads too and we have 2000+ fonts,  but we have a 3rd party font manager called Font Agent Pro,  which allows us to activate or deactivate fonts because I try to not have more than 500 different fonts (including the various font styles) active at a time because it can really bog things down immensely.  I knew a guy who would get so aggravated with his computer,  because he would have every single font activated, but not understand why his computer was bogged down.  I echo the statement about turning font previews off.  But if you have the ability to deactivate certain fonts,  I would take advantage of that too and deactivate the fonts you know you aren't going to use.
