Setting debug-on-quit and hitting C-g while the menu is being built
indicates that the time is actually spent in table--find-row-column.

Looking some more at the table.el code, it seems there is a minor
logic-thinko bug in it.  Can you try the patch below (it's against the
Emacs-CVS version of table.el, so you may have to apply the patch by hand).

Tak, is my reasoning correct that `table--probe-cell' should return non-nil
iff we're inside a table?
