Summary pane causes RStudio IDE to hang for a while

I have some not particularly large dataframes (e.g. 101 x 434), and when the Summary pane opens, the data viewer hangs for ~20 secs. Clicking on Summary eventually closes the pane, and i can get on with working. For now, is there a way to prevent Summary from opening?

Yes, you can disable the summary pane from showing by default.

In the data viewer, click the tiny little arrow in the upper-right to reveal a menu where you can uncheck "Show Summary panel by default".

FYI, we're investigating another report of slowness with the new data viewer here: The Data Viewer is extremely slow · Issue #17806 · rstudio/rstudio · GitHub
