Steps to reproduce:
- Open a new tab
- Make sure to have a Dynamic background image turned on along with atleast any one of Bookmarks, Frequently Visited and Reading List (Try all 4 together if its not reproducible with just two of them)
- Open a few new tabs
- Close these new tabs
Note - For 3 and 4, opening/closing new tabs from some other site will be quick, from within a new tab site would be slow.
Also, only Dynamic background image causes no slowdown (sometimes), same with having only Bookmarks, Frequently Visited and Reading List. So the issue might stem from either some interaction between the dynamic background image and the bookmarks/ frequently visited/ reading list icons or from a general idea of "heaviness" of the start page
My setup: Default Monterey background image, 14 bookmarks, 12 Frequently Visited
Expected behavior:
Smooth opening and closing of tabs despite being on another new tab

Used a different build here, with lighter number of bookmarks and no frequently visited, that might make the lag appear less often
