[jQuery] Superfish speed problem

[Ben Houghton]

Hi there,

I'm trying to get my Superfish menu to display the instant that I
hover over it.  However there is a slight pause before the sub-menu is
displayed.  I am using supersubs as well, this is the set-up call I am
using.

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('ul.sf-menu').supersubs({
        minWidth:    12,
        maxWidth:    27,
        extraWidth:  1
    }).superfish({
            onInit:        function(){},
            onBeforeShow:  function(){},
            onShow:        function(){},
            onHide:        function(){},
            delay       : 200,
            animation   : {height:'show'},
            speed       : 1
    })
});

I would like it to work as quickly as the one on this site:
http://www.salesforce.com/
but when I add a jQuery .hover function on the top menu items, to set
a background css style on the top level "a" elements, the hover style
gets applied a (significant) fraction BEFORE the sub-menu for that 
element is expanded.

Anyone got any ideas on how to expand the sub-menus "instantly"? Thanks!

Ben

P.S. many thanks to Joel Birch for this great nav system!
