I'm sure most people are familiar with this registry entry!
Windows 8 doesn't have a Start menu but this (found in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop) still works to make desktop menus and those in applications more responsive. IE10's favourites menu, for example.
The other useful one is MouseHoverTime (found in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse), which can be used to control the delay in pop-up descriptions appearing on items.
I've edited both of these and noticed places where they don't have an effect. The File Explorer File menu and ribbon interface still have delays. I started using Office 2007 when I installed Windows 8 and see that Office 2007's ribbon menus also have delays. Outlook 2007's regular menus have what feels like the stock 400ms delay.
Does the ribbon interface have its own settings somewhere else in the registry? Or is it an arbitrary delay setting that can't be changed (I'm assuming so pessimistically)?
