Faster than half a second to load a font preview Guassian. Or at least I'd think so with my computer. It literally takes about 35 seconds to load up photoshop.. and less than 1/2 second to get a browser up [honesty] So I'd think that 1 font would be faster than half a second.
I'm talking about actually viewing all 5,000 fonts one for one, not loading them.
What you need is a font manager.
I'm serious, if you're working on a design that doesn't need for example script or futuristic fonts, why showing them in your fonts preview, it only slows things down.
If you do it the right way you don't even need to close and restart Photoshop to switch fonts.
Man o' man, I can't believe you keep 5000 fonts active without a font manager. If you don't have the loot for a commercial solution, try an open source app. Google it and you'll find a whack of them.
Other than killing the font preview, only using the Info Palette, when you need it also keeps a lot of XP machines running at a better rate. I've been reluctant to go 9.01, as I've heard of as many new bugs, than were solved. My XP machine has a load of horsepower, but to be honest my Mac has performed perfectly from day one with CS2, with a lot less issues.

Have any suggestions for free font managers? I'm not lazy; I can go out there and find one myself, but I wonder if anyone is already using one that they'd suggest.
