With your snippet I get around 30 fps. If I take out the for next loop I get a decent frame rate of 60. So try taking out the for loop to see if you get a decent frame rate. It could be how you programmed your menu that is causing a low frame rate. I had the same problem when creating my menu. Using a lot of "SET TEXT" commands will slow down your program.
This will result in low fps

I get around 20 fps with that and my specs are 4gb Ram ddr3, intel i7-820qm 1.73 turbo 3.06, windows 7 - 32 bit, nvidia 230m 1gb graphics card.
So if you are using a lot of text commands in your menu try replacing them with sprites.
