Well I guess this it's just my feeling against your feeling here unless
we get an opinion by someone really clued about usability :/

I tried to avoid this since everything in theory can be made faster but ...
I think the speed problems caused by the menu are far worst than those caused by the dialog.
You have to build the whole bookmarks menu every time you open a new window. For the dialog
you have only to build it when the user really want to access bookmarks and you fill the
list only with the elements of the selected keyword.

Obviously 2-3 secs are crazy, how many bookmarks do you have ? That happen only when All is selected ?
It would be useful if you could open a bug about this.
