I built a new Athlon 64 3400+ system and after installing XP, the start menu is very sluggish. Everything else is running at a normal speed. There is a delay of a few seconds for each menu branch. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this and how I can fix it?
 
Here's some info about speeding up the menu:
If you have ever been annoyed by the built-in delay before a menu displays
in Windows, you can eliminate it. To do this, open Regedit and navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel \Desktop\MenuShowDelay. The default value is
400 (milliseconds); lowering the value will speed up how quickly menus
display. This change will take effect after you reboot
