Comment (by pulkomandy):
We discussed this with Diver on IRC, and the 0.2 second delay is too long
and easily noticeable. It is also not strictly needed for diagonal
navigation: there is another (longer) delay for this. It is currently set
to about 1 second. However, removing the short initial delay would make
the first submenu open immediately, and if a diagonal move is detected, no
other submenu can be reached for 1 second.
One solution could be to use an adaptative delay. I think it's possible to
detect when the mouse is slowing down as it gets close to the target menu
item and shorten the delay then, but make it longer when the mouse is
starting to move again (possibly to move into the submenu). Other ways to
detect this could use the mouse direction (if it's mostly vertical, the
mouse is likely not trying to go into a submenu)
Diagonal menus without delay are possible as seen for example on Amazon's
