Script Cache slowness

The Script cache can be a lifesaver, but at least for me, GH freezes up when I try to "recover from cache." It thinks forever and then finally displays the menu after a minute or two, but it's so slow as to be unusable.

Looking into it.

I've replaced the standard windows menu with the existing Grasshopper MRU file menu including timeline. I had ~200 files in the cache and it took about 2.5 seconds to pop up the old menu and about 0.1 seconds to pop up the new one*.

I also made it so that there's a maximum of 500 files in the cache. It is after all a 'oh-crap-I-just-lost-an-hour-of-work!' protection, not a 'hmm,-I-seem-to-have-lost-an-hour-of-work-last-month' kind of feature.

* which is just weird. How come some Schmuck in Slovakia can put a menu on the screen with timeline, icons, hatches and shadow edges 100 times faster than the native Windows solution? Is it just me or is there something very wrong here?
