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.

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.

You can turn on the 'List classes hierarchically' to have the same listing 
with the default Browser. But even if that's enabled, OB is a lot slower 
in this, so the difference is caused by something else.
