I already use TweakUI to speed up the menu delays and remove the transition effects. I'm not talking about stuff you can control with TweakUI.

I'm talking about when, say, a menu of 20 items is already "painting" on the screen, and the first ten items appear, and then there is a freeze half way through the painting routine as it re-loads the icon resource for menu item number 11. It's gotta go all the way out to the EXE file for that item, scan into the file to load the icon resource, copy the resouce to the icon cache, then render the icon onto the menu before it can finish painting the remaining 10 menu items and let me select one.

Surely someone else has noticed this happening sometimes?
