I'm not sure what chord menu you mean. :(. I /think/ you are describing "echo-keystrokes", which defaults to one second.
M-x is basically instant for me, though. So, not sure why anything like that would be slow.

I admit that perhaps there is a configurable lag built in (it would make sense to do so) and while there are other examples that I know bother me, this is the one that jumped out straight away. I'd have to dig back in to have more specifics.
