(Random Bug) "Recently opened programs menu" is a little slow showing the Recently opened programs list!

from Stardock Forums

Every now and then when I click on Start8 the "Recently opened programs menu" is a little slow showing the Recently opened programs list.

What I mean is the Recently opened programs menu is blank for like a second or two before the programs are shown. This does not happen often but it does happen from time to time. Would it be possible to some how optimize Start8 so its faster at showing the Recently opened programs quicker like always instantly?

I am using a Quad Core CPU with 4GB Ram and a very fast SSD drive so I know hardware is not the issue here.

Thanks

Is this happening after closing the menu say less than 5 seconds before?

I would say yes.

I think I see this issue when I open and close Start8 with in a few seconds of each click.

This issue never happens on the "real" Windows 7 start menu as that is always very fast in showing the Recently opened programs list no matter how many times in a row I click.

I know its not a huge problem for sure but it would be great if Start8 could maybe be optimize a little more.
