Preview generation at lower priority
When generating previews in folder with more photos, it takes almost 100% of CPU and other work is very slow. Would it be possible to assign to processes of "normal work" higher and to preview generation lower CPU priority?

While generating previews I see the CPU is 100% loaded, which is absoluetely unacceptable!
GPU is not active during preview generation.
Selecting a folder with many photos will lock up the computer for a long time. -

I did not see this problem until 2021 (v11), but now if I open Bridge to a folder with a lot of images, it nails the CPU at 100% utilization, and does not seem to let go (I haven't waited more 10 minutes, but my biggest folder is maybe 6,000 images)
