    So the problem seems to be that the items are not children of the dropdown object!  I ended up clicking on the dropdown to display the items, then using FindChild() with a different parent and the JavaFX class of the items.  Now able to select fairly quick.  Thanks!

I did a quick bit of investigation on that control... there is a method for "DropDown".  What happens if you call

 

control.DropDown();

control.ClickItem(itemName);

 

Like that?  Break up the action into two steps.  Does the same delay happen? If so, does it happen on the drop down or on the ClickItem?

My GUESS... is that it's happening on the drop down... but again, just a guess.
