Bug description
If there are some notifications on the notifications menu, it becomes too slow, doesn't even need to be a lot, and uses a lot of CPU resources while it's open.
Steps to reproduce
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/955f5ca2-f43c-4ae6-bc10-16cfdd426ee5
Expected behavior
It probably shouldn't use this many resources to keep the notification menu open for only these notifications. So maybe some optimizations might be necessary.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the slowdown with several notifications open in the Cinnamon notifications menu and profiling its CPU usage. The issue names no source file or test, so locate the menu implementation first; done means the menu remains responsive without excessive CPU use under the reported conditions.
