What is the unexpected behavior?
Each refresh causes microstutter, independent of graphical application: browser, games ...

What distribution and version of Linux are you using?
arch
What version of Gnome are you using?
46, but i'm pretty sure this was happening in earlier versions as well
fetching just the pinned values when the menu is closed would already be a good optimization to mitigate this (and in general) I think
