Multitasking gesture slower when using Nova Launcher

I recently switched my Galaxy S23 from on-screen buttons to gesture navigation. I noticed that using the stock launcher I can open the multitasking screen very quickly when swiping upwards and holding (it takes about 0.5 seconds). When I set Nova Launcher as my default launcher and open its home screen, opening the multitasking window takes about twice as long, almost a whole second. When opening the stock launcher again it works fast like before. This is very annoying as it heavliy hinders my workflow. I tried adjusting Nova's gesture settings but was unable to resolve the issue. How can I fix this?
