That's because your program list is being re-computed every time you
press Mod4-p. To fix this, compute the program list once and cache
it in memory (or on disk) and then re-use it in your Mod4-p handler.

Something like the following (untested):

> proglist() {
> IFS=: set -- $1
> find -L $@ -maxdepth 1 -perm /111 | sed '1d; s,.*/,,' | sort |
> uniq unset IFS

proglist_cache=$(proglist $PATH)

Mod4-p)
    eval exec wmiir setsid "$(echo proglist_cache | wimenu -s 0)" &
