Here's the laggy menu fix [WARNING! REGISTRY EDITING AHEAD. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!]:
0. Uninstall Location Emulator. This edit will replace the context menu install. Also make sure your system is in the usual locale.
1. Mke a notepad file. We'll call it "locale emulator.reg" Save it wherever. Remember where.
2. Paste this into the file:
vv COPY BELOW THIS LINE vv
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\RunWithLE]
@="Run with Locale Emulator"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\RunWithLE\command]
@="C:\\PATH\\TO\\LOCALE_EMULATOR\\LEProc.exe \"-runas\" \"GUID\" \"%1\""
^^ COPY ABOVE THIS LINE ^^
3. Open the folder you extracted the program to. It should contain LEProc.exe. Copy the path and paste it in the reg file where "C:\\PATH\\TO\\LOCALE_EMULATOR" is. Make sure to double the backslashes after you do that.
4. In the LEConfig.xml file (should open in a text editor) you'll find a line that looks like this:
>> <Profile Name="Run in Japanese" Guid="a6d2f812-2172-4d0e-981d-e8cc5dfd6bff" MainMenu="true">
Copy that string of letters and numbers in the Guid field and paste it into your .reg file in place of "GUID". Make sure it's enclosed with the backspace-escaped quotation marks, just like how I have it in step 2. Now save and close the "local emulator.reg" file. You can also close the xml file.
5. Start Menu -> type "regedit" and run it. In the registry editor, go to "File -> Import" then navigate to "locale emulator.reg" and import it. You'll get a message confirming that it's done.
Note: the documentation with Locale Emulator explains how to do this, but I found it a little vague and confusing. It's still slow on the context menu for me, but not AS slow. You might have to restart explorer or your computer to realize the full benefit.
Of course, after that, there's no more restarting your computer between playing Plum Theater and using Notepad in a reasonable manner. You've successfully bent Windows to your will.
