I assume you are talking about the xdg-menu here.

I've done some testing on the Windows 10 TP x86_64, but I can't 
reproduce this problem.

If you can reproduce this problem, you could always examine the 
~/.xsession-errors file directly.

This is unfortunately normal.  A lot of work needs to take place to 
construct the menu, tracking down the .menu and .desktop files, 
interpreting their contents and locating icons.

Of course, if someone wants to do some profiling and optimizing, that 
would be great :D
