I think this would be the best approach.  However some things do need timing:

- Scrolling/sliding the menu (as you noticed)
- Opening and closing submenus, this is rather subtle and I am not going to
  explain now.

But both can be achieved without using periodic events.

However I got the impression that the loop without periodic events
in the NSMenuTitleView did not work properly for certain people.
This should be investigated first before we try a similar change
in the much more dificult "trackEvent" code in NSMenuView.

It worked perfectly for me, and it worked as well for David Ayers
(I think).  I tried to add some sleeps in the code to try to mimic
a slow system but it kept on working fine.

But I have to say that I am perfectly happy with the current 
slide and scrollspeed.  And it should not be too fast.
