I felt that way about it until I realized I could start moving the  
menu cursor before the fade had finished.  It doesn't really make  
navigating any slower, as it turns out.

Fade performance was terrible on my SuSE systems until I gave up on  
using the SuSE RPM package to install the NVIDIA drivers.  For some  
reason OpenGL doesn't work quite right unless I use the generic binary  
packages from NVIDIA's site.  Now the fade happens quite snappily on  
both my GeForce 6200 and my old GeForce2 MX400.
