That's odd.
Have you either restarted or logged out/in since trashing your original plist?
Yes. That was the case and, to double-check, I've done it again (trashed the plist, shutdown, and restarted) and just got this same result.
bplist00—_ __NSEnableTSMDocumentWindowLevel
./
I note that the menu bar loading pretty close to instantaneous. I've just entered Hal's command
kextstat |grep -v com.apple into Terminal and got this:

Did you try leaving Sophos installed but with its menu bar icon de-activated?
Edit: Hmmm... I don't see Sophos included in the plist you posted; I wonder what's up with that?
I assume you mean the plist info in Post #16925. If so, and I'm only guessing here - is it meaningful that "Toast 10 Titanium#@g@_495 477 450 250 0 0 1440 878" is there, although it's not something that appears in the bar?
Note that in Post #16916, Item 10, I mentioned that my audio stopped working and that: "A check of the sound output showed it had been switched to "CD Spin Doctor Capture Support" rather than Internal Speakers."
Earlier in the thread there were references to "com.hzsystems.driver" - a non-Apple kernel extension which seemed to be connected to CD Spin Doctor, an app that comes with Roxio Toast.
joemike mentioned he has CD Spin Doctor but doesn't have that driver.
So I went to the extensions folder just now and removed "CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext", rebooted, and entered
kextstat |grep -v com.apple into Terminal. I got the same result as above. I also found that the extension was back in the Extensions Folder.
I have just used Clean App to remove CD Spin (there were 2 versions) and the associated files, including plists. I also went back to the Systems Extensions folder and again removed "CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext".
I have restarted and entered
kextstat |grep -v com.apple into Terminal, getting this result:

A quick check of Extensions Folder - and "CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext" remains gone.
So I'm going back to bed. I just got up for a drink of water and thought I'd do a 'quick perusal of FTM'. Sigh.

Updated plist information (10:52):Double-click gets:

Another log-in, just now, returns the same Terminal information as above except for a changed log-in time.
Note: Just guessing, but perhaps this is logical as the only items in the right side of the Menu Bar are Apple functions - Time Machine, Bluetooth, Audio, Clock, Spotlight.
