But how long should that realistically take? The stall happens on each sub-menu in turn, so if this is what's happening, it can't be loading more than about 20 entries to display. That said, if i do take the time to open up each and every sub-menu (several seconds delay for each one), the next time they're opened they appear instantly. For a little while, anyway... After some indeterminate amount of time (hours?) the menus begin to stall again, with a longer pause the longer i wait to open a given menu. > I suspect this doesn't happen on really fast modern machines. While not all that modern, my every-day use laptop has 8 cores (fastest currently shows 3160 MHz) and some 8GB of memory. If that's not enough to handle something as simple as a user interface, there must be something wrong somewhere. That's why i was wondering: do i just have something horribly misconfigured? -Conrad. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
