i think what he means is that items don't roll over smoothly when you
run your mouse over the menu, like they do in ob2. if you run your
mouse over it a little faster than very slow, some items will not get
highlighted.. it starts to skip to every other item, every third item,
etc. to where if you run your mouse over it reasonably fast, no items
will be highlighted at all. this makes it seem like the menu response
to the mouse is really slow.

xor says that this might be due to event compression, but i kind of
doubt it, because afaik, events are compressed on window move, and
moving windows doesn't feel sluggish and whatnot. however, it's not a
matter of the menu not flipping the pixmaps fast enough or
something... if you wanch events, it seems like the menu gets much
less events than it should. if compression is causing this, then this
is a bad use of compression.
