not resolved

I am not saying it can't be fixed.
Regarding the menu, we used the same menu over and over again in all our themes but only in this one it loads after the theme content is loaded. We thought it was related to the jquery superfish plugin(that adds the fade in / out effect on menu items) but even though we disabled the plugin, the menu still loads the same way. We haven't found out why this occurs on theme so far, so we can't be of any help.
Regarding the slider - this one contains a couple of images and the slider will display after all images are loaded, that's why it's an delay in load time. A "fix" for this would be to add a prealoader(a dark background with animated loading gif will be displayed instead of the slider, until the slider loads) to the slider. We are considering doing this via a future update.

The slow loading on the home page (menu and slider) is about to be a deal killer with my client. I will try the slider "solution" but still very suprised this can't be corrected. I have downloaded near 20 WP themes over the past year and have never had an issue like this. Very frustrating.

Yes thank you for noticing about this. We used @font-face on menu items, and the embedded font always take some time to load. If you still wish to use the @font-face on the rest of theme elements(such as headers) you can add this code on style.css:
.sf-menu a {
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif !important;
}About slider loader, you can try these suggestions from here(they also give some code, but we haven't tried to implement it so far so we can't know whether it works or no for sure):
