>but on Windows it feels faster because they are animated immediately. Context menus take between 3 and 6 seconds on my Windows XPSP2 machine to load the desktop context menu as it thrashes the hard drive. That's after a memory upgrade where it took half a minute to load the desktop context menu. My slower KDE machine loads context menus instantly. Where are these Windows machines with instant animating menus?
