Not only first impression; If my system is under load (while compiling for=
=20
example) the popup can take upto 5 seconds to show.  Mainly because it=20
has to swap in stuff.
I'd have to try the patch, but from the description the approach seems to=20
solve that issue, and therefor I think its a good idea :)
I am interrested in the memory used for a average menu. How many pages=20
will be touched by looking up if the wanted menu is already present?

I do have point out that there is no clearing of the cache, for as far as=20
I could see. When I alter the mine-bindings I expect the menus to change.=20
Similar with the config option to show the delete or the move to trash=20
actions.
Oh, and did you think about users holding shift which makes the move to=20
trash be replaced with delete action?

Cheers!
