SwiftUI animation is laggy in NSStatusItem since macOS 26 Tahoe

My app is a bit of a special case and relies on a custom view in a NSStatusItem. I use a NSHostingView and add it as a subview to my NSStatusItem's .button property.

Since macOS 26 Tahoe, even simple animations like a .frame change of a Circle won't animate smoothly even though the same SwiftUI animates normally in a WindowGroup.

class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate {
    
    private let statusItem: NSStatusItem = NSStatusBar.system.statusItem(withLength: NSStatusItem.variableLength)
    
    func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ aNotification: Notification) {
        
        let subview = NSHostingView(rootView: AnimationView())
        let view = self.statusItem.button
        
        view?.addSubview(subview)
        subview.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        
        guard let view = view else { return }
        
        NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
            subview.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor),
            subview.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor),
            subview.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 22),
            subview.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 22)
        ])
    }
    
}
struct AnimationView: View {
    
    @State private var isTapped = false
    @State private var size: CGSize = .init(width: 4, height: 4)
    
    var body: some View {
        Circle()
            .fill(.pink)
            .frame(width: size.width, height: size.height)
            .frame(width: 20, height: 20)
//            .frame(maxHeight: .infinity)
//            .padding(.horizontal, 9)
//            .frame(height: 22)
            .contentShape(Rectangle())
//            .background(Color.blue.opacity(0.5))
            .onTapGesture {
                withAnimation(.interactiveSpring(response: 0.85, dampingFraction: 0.26, blendDuration: 0.45)) {
//                withAnimation(.spring()) {
                    if isTapped {
                        size = .init(width: 4, height: 4)
                    } else {
                        size = .init(width: 16, height: 16)
                    }
                }
                isTapped.toggle()
            }}
}
