Description
Steps:
- Updating my book at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Kelson/Books/My_test#My_test_collection
- Clicking on the "Edit" button on WP1 in my selection entry and then "Update list"
What I get:
- I see the progress following progress visual for around 20s to then be able to download the updated TSV
What I expect is:
- The very same, but within one second considering download this book should not take more than one second (actually it takes 0.25s from my computer)
Very similar to https://github.com/openzim/wp1/issues/986, maybe this is just a visualising problem and this progress visual is not properly under control?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the WP1 selection workflow: edit WP1 in the selection entry, click “Update list,” and compare the progress display with the actual TSV download time. Check whether the delay is in synchronization or only in the progress visualization. Done means the update completes promptly or the progress display accurately reflects the remaining work.
