In VS2012 when you select a file in solution explorer it automatically opens file in a special "preview" tab.
Maybe my computer is not fast enough, but this preview is too slow for my taste.
How do I disable this feature?

An even better solution IMO is to completely disable the File Preview feature (not just for Solution Explorer):
This also prevents things like Go To Definition (F12) from using preview tabs.
On Visual Studio 2013 I have done this by this Icon :
You can also toggle file preview within the Solution Explorer tool-window itself:
This may have been added in the July update because I hadn't noticed it before then.
One of the buttons at the top of the solution explorer toggles whether this is enabled.
In Tools > Options > Environment > Tabs and Windows, you can disable it by unckecking "Solution explorer" under Preview tab.
I find it using the "Quick launch" new feature. Simply type "preview", and a link to the setting will be suggested. Great new feature of VS
