Photoshop and Loading Fonts

Hello, I installed a large number of fonts on my computer (27720). Mostly all of my programs that use fonts Word, FIreworks, Dreamweaver, etc.. work just fine. But Photoshop chokes on them when loading and its performance goes to nothing causing it to freeze/take very long times to do anything (I had to let it startup over night).

I'm assuming its trying to do some big operation with them at start up. Does anyone know of anything that might might fix photoshop (CS) into skipping or avoiding what ever it is it does with fonts that makes it so slow when given a large amount?

Obviously the apparent solution would be to remove the fonts and I would if it were all the programs acting up, but it's just photoshop and im hoping there is some easy option fix :/.

Thanks

27000 fonts? you doanloaded the internet? ;)
Even with 1000 fonts, you should use a font management system.

Remember that Adobe is a font manufacturer, so they know how a font should act. Also, Adobe programs are often used to be output on press printing. It is better to have Photoshop refuse to load a slopply coded font than you to pay the Rip operator big $ to find the offending font.

To find which ones are causing the crash (after you have chosen the ones to keep, 27K fonts is insanely big) you can use the half and half method, loading half of the fonts, and see if it crashes, the divide again, until you know wich one is bad. With that amount of fonts, there is a lof of chances that a lot are causing problems.
