Opening the Material Editor takes very long

Hi
If I open the material editor from windows (double clicking on any .mxm) it takes about 1 minute to load. During this period my computer almost freezes, the mouse beeing not responsive for several seconds.
Does anyone else have this behavior? It happens on all the machines I got (all on Win7).
Thanks for any help

I used to get this problem if the last browsed folder has hundreds of MXM's inside. It has to load all of the thumbnails. After you open the material editor, browse to the Maxwell default material folder. Next time you open it, it should be faster.
