F12: "start" menu takes a very long time to load

I just installed F12 on a fresh computer, and for the most part things
seem to be working well. One thing I'm seeing in KDE, though -- which
is new to me -- is that whenever I click on the Start menu (the Fedora
logo in the bottom right), my whole desktop freezes for several
seconds and then the menu comes up. I can tell it's freezing because,
for example, if I have a "yum update" running in a konsole at the same
time, its output stops being updated until the menu comes up.

Is anyone else seeing this? I'm pretty sure this is new for me since
the betas ...
