DataViews button interactions feel slightly "laggy" #73424

As I've been using the DataViews more and more recently I cannot shake the feeling that the UI interactions (mostly dropdown openings) feel somewhat laggy.

I've added a video below what tries to capture what I am seeing. (In the video you can see the moment I clicked via the circle that appears by the cursor. And there is a clear delay between the click and when the dropdown renders)

To me this makes the UI feel like there is something wrong. Like my device is struggling to keep up because there are a few too many milliseconds between my actually triggering the click to the actual dropdown appearing.

I'm not sure if it is just the enter animation timing or if there is something else happening here. But it does feel like laggy resource intensive old JS used to feel.

And given how crucial this UI will be for modern WP I though to bring it up :)
