I just checked JDE 2.2.6 on XEmacs 21.1 on a Sun Ultra 5 workstation
running Solaris. The JDEbug menu drops down instantaneously. I also have
not seen any degradation in JDEbug menu performance on the Windows NT
version of XEmacs.

Most of the items on the JDEbug menu have enabler functions that enable
them based on the current state of the debugger.  There may be some problem
in your setup that is causing one or more of the enabler functions to run
excessively long. Look in the jde-bug.el file for the menu definition to
see what the enabling functions are.
