We're currently working on a cross-platform application that installs its
own system menu using the "installMenu" command.  However, I've only just
noticed this little addendum on the Macromedia support site (tech note ID:
16117)  which states:

"Known Issues 
Frequent menu changes can result in a performance drain causing a menu to
lose some of its functionality. For best results, avoid frequent menu
changes including installing/removing menus and repeatedly changing menu
item properties. A potential workaround to the performance drain is to
remove and then reinstall the menu."

Has anyone had any practical experience with this problem?  How much of a
"drain" are we talking about?  How many changes are considered "frequent"!?!
If anyone at MM is reading this, can you throw any extra light on the
matter?  Since in our app it's entirely possible that the user can cause the
state of one of the menu items to toggle (between enabled and disabled)
quite often - is the menu going to spontaneously combust after a while?

Ta muchly,
Chris
