The article cites this option will be available. But on higher resolutions, it doesn't make sense, because it increases the distance between the window and the menu, requiring more mouse movement.

On a 27" iMac, even set to "fast" it's 2 swipes of the mouse across the desk to go corner to corner. It's one of the few areas of OS X that I consider broken by default and needs a 3rd party tool to fix (made more difficult by the Magic Mouse requiring its own drivers).
