Distance and area.  time = a + b*log(distance/area + 1) is the exact formula, 
I believe.  So with an infinitely large button, the distance doesn't matter.

In fact, most people I know tend to use maximized windows for most important 
tasks.  I use my java IDE maximized, people who work in word processors 
usually maximize them, etc.  In such a case the menu bar is already at the 
top of the screen, but the buttons are not on the actual boundary, so they 
are small.  Putting the menubar at the top makes almost no difference in the 
distance, which was already large, but a huge difference in the area of the 
buttons, which go from small to effectively infinite.
