A simple Registry tweak can give speed up your start menu and sub-menus. Open the Registry Editor, and navigate to and select:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop . Double-click the MenuShowDelay icon on the right, and change 'Value data' from its default of 400 (milliseconds) to something speedier, like 0. When you have finished, press Enter.
