Just 'cause it's not documented doesn't mean it's not there.

No, something is still amiss.  I have my mac set at 3 menu flashes and 
I can take as long as 1.5 seconds (estimated) between selecting a parent
item and dragging over to its sub menu.  I wonder if you have inadvertently
mashed this low memory global somehow.  Try using someone elses Mac (with
some commercial type software, no INITs, just to make sure).
