Vista Start Menu speed

I just got a new HP Laptop, Core 2 Duo 1.6Ghz, 2GB Ram, GeForce 7600. I
would not anticipate this to be slow, and for the most part it is not a slow
laptop at all. But when going to the Start Menu, it is unbelievably slow to
access programs. When I click on a folder for the list of program shortcuts
to drop down, it takes forever.

Is this normal behavior? It is slow enough that I do not even bother to use
the Start Menu to launch programs, it is quicker to just find the exe in
Explorer or use Run...
