Faster menu


  • Subject: Faster menu

My application has a drop-down menu whose contents is under user control, and in some cases may become overpopulated, with, for instance, 100+ items. Each item may have an icon.

Problem: the first time its title is clicked, it takes several long seconds before the menu actually drops down. Afterwards, the delay is much shorter, I guess the bits are bufferized somewhere.

What I would like is to "prefetch" the bits while the application is initializing. There is a good chance that the user will not click the menu for minutes after launching the app, so I have plenty of time to do the job.

Any idea how to do that?
