<br>2. Default gnome-menu: immediate. 0 seconds on cold boot.<br>3. after logging out and logging back in without a reboot, the combined menu still takes around 1.5 seconds.<br><br>These times feel faster than it was taking a few days before my first post. (I mentioned I felt a speed up a few days prior to that email...). And the system is frozen while the combined menu does its thing.
