The Updated "New" Dialogue Box Takes Too Long To Load

With the newest version of Photoshop, I've noticed every time I hit Cmd+N for a new document, it takes a considerably longer time than usual before the dialogue box pops up. Before it was virtually instant. Now it takes about 4 seconds or more. I'm assuming it's because it's loading all the web content in all those other tabs they decided to add in there.

IT'S TOO MUCH

When I've got about 100 different files that I'm working on for a client to draw clipping paths, the workflow I usually do is copy the image file from Basecamp, go into photoshop and create a new file with the default size of what's in the clipboard, paste it in, and get to work. Now, It's adding more time than it should.

Please either get it to load as quickly as it did before the update or remove all that junk that's loading in the background for the other tabs. Or make the first tab instant and wait to load the other tabs only if you click on the tab.

If there is nothing you need in the updated new file dialog, you can go into Preferences > General and checkmark "Use Legacy New Document Interface" to get the classic New File dialog back.
