Anything, really, and now I've realized that it doesn't really affect the bibtex menu, but any menu. Simply clicking on the menu bar hangs all of Emacs for 30-60 s. Last night I realized the time increases according to the line the cursor is on (no problems in the first few hundred lines).

OTOH, is that bibtex.el planned for the next regular Emacs release? if so, does anybody know when that will happen? Thank you, -- Sebastian Luque
