Bug: Active tags widget causes home page to freeze

[RinineFV2]

Description

I thought it was some known general performance issue, but I realized it's the tags widget's fault. If it's active, when I open the app it freezes for no less than 20 seconds. (On a 14700k).

And it always loads all tag elements in duplicate.

Steps To Reproduce

The exact steps to reproduce the issue are:

1. Configure the files app to load the home page, or continue a session, or load pages that include the home page
2. Have the tags widget enabled
3. Have several tags with elements (8 tags in my case, with about 4–5 elements per tag, nothing excessive)
4. Start a new instance from scratch (not running in the background)

Then the app becomes unresponsive for 20 seconds or more until the tag widget finishes "doing its thing" (leaving all items duplicated as well).

If I disable the tag widget, everything works fine, even when creating new instances.
