I did test that, but no difference here, as I ran the test on Ubuntu.
IIRC that's a Mac-only property that has no effect on Windows and Linux,
merely preventing the update of the OS menubar from LC until idle.
I hope one day that'll be a Linux property, too. Like Mac, Ubuntu has a
global menu bar, and it would be nice to also have control over when it
gets updated.
