Golden Gate RC: Menubar autohide lagging on reveal

Am I misremembering here? On Tahoe I had the menubar on autohide and it revealed instantly on hover. Now on the RC there is an annoying delay. I might have used a Terminal command to achieve this on Tahoe, or probably a few versions earlier and it just carried over.

At any rate, there seems to be no way to change the menubar reveal speed.

Any help would be appreciated.
