Why do you think this is ugly? In my test environment, I open the panel menu and move down over each item. The menus respond immediately opening each item as I move over it. When I reach the item I'm interested in it opens immediately open so I can go straight to the application I'm looking for. The submenus don't get in the way of the current menu, so do not interrupt my actions. With the current 1/4s delays, some menus will popup when you're moving through the list then when you reach the item you have to wait 1/4s before it opens. This feels like gnome is too slow to open the menus so you're working too fast for your computer to keep up -- even with something as simple as opening the menu. Such comments seem to be what many of the users who complain about the performance are saying. They don't know that there is an intentional delay, so really do think that gnome is too slow to It would be good to see how normal users would compare the current behaviour and the panel with a delay of 0.
