Navigate to a folder, or All Photographs in the navigator then from the menu Library / Previews / Build 1:1 Previews or Library / Previews / Build Standard Sized Previews (and it'll probably prompt you with Build full previews for all photos or only one? if you only had one photo selected.)

(This is on 5.7.1 for Windows.) Is this something you could start and then leave to churn away on its own? Run once to let it build previews for all 36,000 images (over night or something like that) so that when you come back to it later you don't have to wait while it builds new previews every time you look through your images? -- Science - Questions we may never find answers for.
