Improve speed of right click and file details popul

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I was wondering if there would be a way to improve the response time of the 
right click menu and the left click on a file window. At the moment, it varies 
from about 0.5 seconds to about 2-3 seconds to load either of those windows. 
Especially if I'm currently uploading something, clicking on a file to bring up 
the details window can take up to 8 seconds. Just something that would be nice 
if it were pre-loaded (if that's even possible). 

Thanks so much!!

The delay comes from the fact that client makes a request to server. This is 
needed to resolve permissions, possible actions and other data for the item 
clicked.

It's not reasonable to preload these for every file/folder there are visible, 
it would be too heavy operation just in case if user opens the info/menu.

I know popup menu could be made a bit faster (the popup menu does not require 
all that info it now requests, so lighter version could be made) and results 
could be cached so they are not fetched again.

But still, your request times are quite slow, so not sure if these actions 
would even help (if response time is slow, in many cases it's not the 
processing that takes the time but waiting for the server)
