The marker previews are there and working, although the scroll thing that they pop up in is a little goofy. However it seems like it may be the marker previews that are causing the delays.

Okay, sounds like that's our culprit. Next thing - can you experiment and see if it happens to be a particular marker that's causing the trouble? Try removing them one by one from markers.svg, especially look for ones that require excessive amounts of SVG to describe or that have complex features in them that might be causing extra rendering time. My bet is that there's just one or two markers that are getting the renderer into a loop, and if they can be redrawn more carefully, it will resolve the issue.

I just gave this a try and I couldn't identify any one marker that was causing the problem. The delay just gradually got longer as I went from zero to all markers. I did notice that if I hid the dialog using F12 it would pop back up quickly on the next F12 or Ctrl+Shift+F. Maybe that helps...
