Placing Images is slow

[Krisztina]

C7, OSX.  Placing images is very slow.  What I mean by this is the  
computer takes a long time to show all the items in the folder that  
has the art in it before the artist can select the desired item.
I assume this is a result of the Navigation services of OSX.  The OS  
wants to draw all those pretty icons to the left of the images.  In  
the Finder window (when you are in column view), there is a gear.   
(The gear drop down: Show View Options.)  You can turn off "show  
icons" and "show preview column".  How can C7 do the same in the  
Place Graphic window? This would be a feature that increase  
productivity more than any other that I could think of.  Thanks.
