Since I normally don't use dmenu, I did some cheap hack: I started bash -c 'dmenu < /etc/fstab' through my local promptbox equivalent. The result feels pretty instant to me. I tried pressing the enter key twice quickly and the second key press always closed dmenu. Perhaps you and others could try the same? Once with dmenu_path and again with something like the above? (I also tried to slow this down by causing disk I/O: $ echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches After this, I managed to press enter fast enough so that dmenu didn't get the keypress, but this still feels quite fast.)
