Unfortunately, we have recently received similar reports that our users are also using Task Manager to kill Pub Manager in order to proceed with their work. However, it was our understanding that the preview feature in Pub Manager renders the view locally. Doesn't that indicate an issue with the users laptop/PC or network?

When working with a large map, such as one containing a few thousand topics, there is no such thing as a processor fast enough to render the map at a speed that isn't irritating if the only reason for rendering it is so that you can move on and do something useful. 

The main issue with the preview screen is that while it might *occasionally* be useful, it is *always* rendered, indiscriminately.

I don't mind waiting for search results to resolve because I just ran a search which is an indication that I want the search results.

I hate waiting for the preview to resolve every time I click on a map in the Content Tab because I almost never clicked on it in order to render the preview. The time I spend waiting to be allowed to do something is a complete and unnecessary waste of my time. And it happens dozens of times per day. Hundreds of times per month. Likely thousands of times per year.

There are a number of aspects of Tridion Docs that seem to indicate a level of contempt for the time of the user, but this one is the top of the hill. It's legitimately infuriating.
