Short description of error
Loading preview collections is extremely slow.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Any add-on which uses preview_collections to load previews grinds to a halt. I've tried Extreme PBR2.0 and Easy HDRI. I reverted the following two patches and the problem seemed to go away:
