Without actually measuring it, it "feels" like the delay between pressing the character menu button and the screen becoming visible is...
10ms in v0.16.51
250ms in v0.17.2
Just long enough to wonder "did it register that keystroke?", which is quite distracting.
This might be a big contributor to the posts that say that v0.17 'feels slow', and would probably be extra-obnoxious to speed-runners.
Maybe something is not being pre-loaded?

It's much better in 0.17.4, probably below 100ms.

Check again in 0.17.5 it will be probably ok.
