Hi Richard,

Slide menu relies on JavaScript so it will run slower than simple CSS cstyle driven menu. There are a lot of "CSS only" solution floating around, one of the most important reasons that they exists is because they are faster both in term of load time and response time.

Nevertheless, most of the time the performance of our slide menu should be fast enough for user not to notice any significant delay or stagnant. The first load may appear much slower because all the JavaScript files need to be downloaded. Afterwards it should be much faster.

If it still appears to be slow, you can try things listed in this topic:

Those should speed up it some.

Thanks
