I was just reading the comments on the bgiframe file here:
http://dev.jquery.com/browser/trunk/plugins/bgiframe/bgiframe.js? 
format=txt

These parts seems to be relevant to us:
  * It does take borders into consideration but all values
  * need to be in pixels

My demo uses ems to define the dimensions etc.
also:

  * NOTICE: This plugin uses CSS expersions in order to work
  * with an element's borders, height and with and can result in poor
  * performance when used on an element that changes properties
  * like size and position a lot. Two of these expressions can be
  * removed if border doesn't matter and performance does.

That sounds especially relevant considering that an animation runs on  
the element when the menus are revealed. Maybe removing the  
expressions that relate to borders (if you don't need them) may help  
you. Otherwise, another option could be to do an instant reveal of  
the menu rather than a gradual animation (not as cool of course).
