Rob,

I've read several places that menubar items are potential problems and I've personally found that sometimes I the 'SystemUIServer' becomes non-responsive in the Activity Monitor (which does a number on the entire OS sometimes) as a direct result of something in the menubar.

The fix is to trash the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist preference file so the menubar goes back to the default.

So I have taken to using almost only Apple menubar items (e.g. Displays; Audio; Bluetooth; etc.). The exception is MenuMeters which I find difficult living without.

Your 'take' on menubar items?
