Expanding start menu folders very slow in Vista

When hovering over a folder in the start menu of Windows Vista, it expands very slowly. This is a result of “highlighting new programs” in the folder list.

To speed it up, Right-click the start menu, select properties -> customize-> scroll down and un-check “highlight newly installed programs.”
