Observation:
If one force kills the launcher in the app settings it seems to work fine for a while.

How many apps do you have installed?

102 icons in the app drawer, force killing the app did fix the issue temporarily but it came back gradually and is just as bad as before after a day or two so it feels like some memory leak adjacent issue.

[ikcikoR]

Total amount of apps including system apps and apps without icons in the launcher seems to be 160 according to my phone's settings.

Here's an APK with a potential fix:

launcher.apk.zip (remove the .zip, do not extract)

Please let me know if it works.

thanks for the update!
it's better but the framerate of scrolling down tge app drawer is still bad in contrast to scrolling up...

I have 72 apps on my Pixel 8 and scrolling down is choppy, It's more like lots of micro stutters. Scrolling up is fine.
