I see the point, but if the effect has to be the same as on pecees, I'd
oppose. See a 1200 MHz PC, you sometimes have to wait 5-6 seconds for a menu
to drop down; this is of course because of the swap, and the swap is because
of "resource hungry" programs.

On a 1040ST menus reacted in a fraction of second.
