testing SubMenuPopupDelay

Hi, thanks for the good work.

First I must [rant] it is a shame to make a fast computer look slow [end rant].

I tried the changes on 4.4.3 where the kstyles/oxygen is in runtime instead of
workspace, but I transposed successfully. I expected the menus to seem more
"high performance" than they did.

There may be some delay other than the SubMenuPopupDelay ...
Referring to attachment, if one moves the mouse just slightly left of internet,
the submenu disappears and the grey highlight clears. Then moving the mouse to
the right, over internet, there is some moment while internet seems to
gradually become highlighted and, then, submenu pops up. If one moves the mouse
from one option to the other, say from internet to multimedia, then multimedia
instantly becomes highlighted and there is a moment of the same length as if it
had been gradually highlighting multimedia. There seems to be some kind of fade
in/ fade out delay.

I verified that this does have an impact by testing with the 96 changed to 10
and the performance was slightly faster. I tested with the 96 changed to 600
and the performance was noticably more sluggish. With the 96 changed to 10,
there can be flickering if the mouse is moved rapidly up and down the menu. It
appears that the plastique (96) and cleanlooks (255) take the delay in qt.

I would be all in favor of allowing the user's "high performance sports car" to
handle like a high performance sports car, even if it sometimes "does a
wheelie", unless the user specifically chooses for it to handle like a
schoolbus.

This is a great start.
