Description
This commit has caused very slow performance when the component mounts since we are now calculating the dropdown width even if the dropdown menu is not visible.
See the screenshot below. setDropdownWidth is called for each dropdown menu when it mounts. Imagine this code running for every single input that is rendered on a page. It becomes very costly and results in large FPS drop.

Can we think of another solution that will fix this issue: https://github.com/ant-design/ant-design/issues/7943 and not cause a performance regression? I will investigate from my end as well, but I wanted to bring this to people's attention since others may have the same issue.

Research direction
Start by reviewing commit 01bf6d1deb327a587be7b40d208684b1f1769f3d and tracing where setDropdownWidth runs during component mounting. Compare the behavior with the dropdown visibility state and verify that the fix for ant-design/ant-design#7943 remains intact without calculating widths for hidden menus; confirm the result with a performance comparison.
