Sorry, to be late ;-)

using "not exists()" is a bit tricky:

since the "normal situation" is the "not found", every exists() takes 3
seconds ;-) the default waiting time!

In these situations, use exists(img, 0) which immediately returns after
the first search trial.

So in your example with the dropdown list, you might restrict the search
to the fixed region, where the entries traverse, when scrolling down or
up (I recommend to use Sikuli's wheel()
(http://sikuli.org/docx/region.html#Region.wheel))

so with something like this:

reg = Region( ... ) # the "looking glass"
steps = some-value # approriate value for stepped scrolldown
wheelPoint = reg.below(10).getCenter() # appropriate location to scroll
while not reg.exists("image-of-searched-item.png", 0):
     wheel(wheelPoint, WHEEL_DOWN, steps)

the thing should be speedy enough (a step should be about 0.2 seconds)
