Turn off "Animation Effects" in Settings and it will be instantaneous.

And VsCode will not display dark mode correctly.

Oh that's a surprising interaction. I use dark mode themes, is there something I haven't noticed?

Specific extension I use that became unusable (black text on black). However, if you look closely, you’ll see a lot of differences in look and feel that don’t seem “animation” related.

Pretty sure that's from another setting in the same panel

Right, but it has many knock-on effects unfortunately. For example, it propagates to web content and causes some sites to break because they don't test with animations disabled.
