You can try to use "dmenu_path_c" instead of the original "dmenu_path", the compiled version is noticeable faster.
You can get it for example here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38035 This is my configuration part, and I have no problem with the dmenu speed: local sexec = awful.util.spawn_with_shell awful.key({ modkey, }, "p", function () sexec("dmenu_path_c | dmenu_run -b -l 20 -sf '#DF7401' -sb '#121212' -nf '#ffffff' -nb '#282828' -fn 'aqui.de'" ) end), * fREW Schmidt [21.03.13 14:34]: > I use dmenu, like I'm sure many of you do as well.
