Extremely slow NSButton initialization

In my AppKit app I have a an outline view where each cell has a title (NSTextField), image view (NSImageView), and 4 NSButtons that are essentially static badges (their .bezelStyle is set to .badge). I’ve seeing very low performance when doing quick reloads in successions, for example when filtering data. My app is built on macOS Tahoe. Profiling the app in instruments I can see that each initialization takes more than 70ms. Does this make sense?

Thanks!
