Just launched an update to the Magento Connect menu. The previous navigation loaded the big “suckerfish” full width drop down immediately. In practice, the navigation was obscuring the content.
The solution we came up with was to have the menu load only when a user “dwelled” on a top level menu. Only then does the sub-menu load. Started with a 1.3 sec delay, now dropping it to 0.75 sec.
