Improve perfomance by changing location of TLB bars?

Sorry, sometimes it is very hard for me to understand so long posts

First I want to ask you about the terms you are using:

I have got TLB set up to use the Quick Launch bar in C:\Documents and Settings\Nemo\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch. In addition to that I have created extra toolbars for TLB and I have placed these extra toolbars into C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Start Menu.

Ho do you create these extra toolbars? Is this separate toolbars on desktop or taskbar? Or you tell about menus?

Now about performance of True Launch Bar. Generally performance do not depends of the location of toolbar. You can create toolbar folder at any location. The performance depends of how many shortcuts have toolbar folder only. And I do not see any reasone to make C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Start Menu as toolbar folder because (1) there are too many shortcuts and all shortcuts will be loaded by TLB, and (2) TLB uses own hotkeys handling.

The best usage of True Launch Bar: make one or more toolbars (the real toolbars on taskbar or on desktop) and add there needed shortcuts. Also you can add all shortcuts from Start Menu - the best way is to create Virtual Folder. Virtual Folders is the best choise if menu must contain many shortcuts because VF loads only when you first open it.

Some examples you can see on the screenshots section.

So my QUESTION is ... in general would I get better performance from TLB if I moved all the toolbars which I use TLB with to be in the same folder as Quick Launch =C:\Documents and Settings\Nemo\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch?

Yes you get better performance but only if you create Virtual Folders. If you copy all shortcuts from Start Menu you'll get the same problems.
