To Speed up the Start Menu, open up the Registry Editor (Start, Run, regedit) and navigate to the following Key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\MenuShowDelay
By Default, the value is 400. Change this to a smaller value, such as 1, to speed it up.
If this doesn't work, then try the following:
Navigate to Display Properties then Appearance then Effects and turn off the option titled Show menu shadow. You will get a much better overall performance.
Note: Do not set the value to 0 or your start menu will not function properly.
