Step 1: Create A Text File
In a terminal type:
sudo gedit ~/.gtkrc-2.0
Step 2: Write The Text File
In the text file that is created paste:
gtk-menu-popup-delay = 0"| tee -a .gtkrc-2.0
Now save and close
Step 3: Log out
When you log back in you should see a significant speed increase in you Gnome menus.

This post works, tested it on both my machines. pHreaK has used it and so has Muki. I think it might be a user error.
Thanks, it works!
After applying this tip, when I wanted to run an application from the terminal, I received the following error:
"doom@studios:~$ gvim
/home/doom/.gtkrc-2.0:3: error: scanner: unterminated string constant - e.g. `style'"
TIP: just replace the "gtk-menu-popup-delay = 0"| tee -a .gtkrc-2.0" with "gtk-menu-popup-delay = 0" in .gtkrc-2.0. You will still be able to experience faster gnome menus, without getting that error.
No sorry, it is broken, it should read:
echo "gtk-menu-popup-delay = 0"| tee -a .gtkrc-2.0
But thanks for the tips anyway! They are very helpful!
you shouldnt be using sudo for that should you? you editing a file in your home dir so there isnt any need for sudo to edit it.
