I'm not sure that it's exactly the same problem, but I've had similar
problems on Linux (x86) with large menus. WindowList is the worst,
since there's a lot of data (all the window titles, plus geometries),
but the problem occurs with all menus.
I spent some time trying to figure out where all the time was being
spent, and apparently the X server is to blame in my case... When fvwm
calls XFlush() (I forget where in the source this was, exactly, but I
can try to find it again), a few commands are sent to the server, and
then it hangs for a bit (usually 250-750ms) because the write() blocks.
I gave up at that point.
