Default Why does the right click list take so long to appear?

No matter. The question is, Won't making the list longer mean it will
take longer to open the right click list?

It already takes a long time, and I've concluded that it builds the list
from another list every time I right click.

Am I right, or if not, why does it take so long to right=click and see
the list, compared to most other operations?


Technically, anything added into a list, will make the application to take
more time to process all of them. That applies to any data for any software,
and for any purpose.

FYI, there are two context menu types: (1) static, and (2) dynamic (i.e.
shell extension). Static menus don't take much time to process, but dynamic
menus do (and quite considerably too, in comparison with static menus).


I thought that was it. I guess I'm bumping into a lot of dynamic
menus. Alas.
