Oh yea, today I booted up with the .1861 kernel (btw, these seem to be
the kernels from Dave J's people web site, not rawhide), and still same
problem.  Except, the problem is really jsut with the mouse I noticed,
not the system itself.  If I get a menu to come up, I can manuever the
keyboard arrows and get whatever I want and the menus seem to come up as
usual, not slow.

So maybe this is something to do with the mouse?

It's a MS Wireless Desktop, where keyboard and mouse are together and
both are wireless using same base component.  Whereas base component
plugs into keyboard/mouse plugins on the system.

And here is what comes up in xorg.conf, which of course is used by every
kernel...

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
