I found this in a few different places around the 'net - hopefully it's helpful:

Speed up Menu Display

You can use this tip to speed up the way menus display in Windows XP.

  • Click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and the click System.
  • Click the Advanced tab, and under Performance, click the Settings button.
  • Clear the Fade or slide menus into view check box, and then click OK.
  • Now when you bring up a collapsed menu, it will expand without delay.
