One thing you can try to test this is to open a regular browser and OB and then just keep scrolling through the system categories with cursor up or cursor down. In the regular browser this entirely smooth; in OB it's "stuttering" and at least I notice the same delay when clicking on the list.
 
Yeah, this one area where OB is certainly not as fast. That's because OB sorts classes according to inheritance, rather than name. It's just more work. I find the tradeoff worthwhile - it's not that slow, and the extra information imparted by the sort order is useful - but reasonable people may disagree. It wouldn't be hard to make this a preference.
