I suspect that is the best solution if you want everything on the main 
menu.

An alternative would be to put all of the discovered links in to a 
dynamically created submenu, that way you can display the main menu 
immediately, and start fetching the links. Any delay would only occur if 
attempting to open the sub menu while still fetching. The main menu 
wouldn't then need redisplaying, so no need to worry about its position.
