Well, I can't be sure what's causing the delay. May be it's the system
changing the picture corresponding to the menu entry selected, and not
the menu selection itself. Either way it manifests itself as I press
the arrow key, nothing happens for about a second, then the next menu
line is highlighted and the picture on the right of the menu changes.
