ie, the menu containing the mail link, among all their other stuff???

It is not the case with the iGoogle homepage, so I don't end up having this issue, thank god.

Google's Menu system is a PITA. Let us customize it please.

Don't use it if it annoys you. Switch to Bing. :)

If I use NoScript in Firefox to turn off scripts on Google.com, the menu shows immediately. Not sure what other unforeseen side-effects this might cause, but it works at the home page.

Personally, I never even see the Google homepage anymore; I created bookmarks with keywords in Firefox for various searches (g=google, gnews=news, gimg=Google Image Search, etc.)

Consider using google.com/ig (personalized google). I use google for searches not to go to the links on the top of the page.

Or if you are logged into a google account, the home page is that personalized google page.

Yeah, I notice that about a week ago, I don't like it either. Don't know why they thought they didn't to add a script to the simplest looking webpage on the web.

I find this delay annoying too. It's not on the Firefox version of the site yet though.
