I've noticed this problem too, and it certainly isn't the speed of your  
machine that is causing it (well it could be a factor) because I am using  
an AMD 1700+ and I still get long pauses between some of the menus  
opening, particularly if there are a lot of items in said menu.

I don't think so. I used ext3 for both FC1 and FC2, and this problem  
certainly wasn't evident in FC1. I think the problem could be with the  
revisions that KDE made to make it compliant with the Open Desktop  
standards? Can anyone further enlighten me here?
