That is an operation I never do. I guess slowness can be attributed to that the menu is application aware, customizable menu options per application. But there is also a slow animation when opening the menu. And on top of that as soon as you hover above an item in the taskbar it wants to show a thumbnail preview of that window. All combined the user interaction feels a bit weird. I turned off "Animations in the taskbar" and I think the context menu got somewhat faster.
