wifi switch on the top bar lag

Hi, in gnome desktop when I activate or deactivate the wifi using the switch on the top bar the desktop is blocked for a moment. On other switches such as bluethooth it does not happen

Hello,

in gnome desktop when I activate or deactivate the wifi using the switch on the top bar the desktop is blocked for a moment.

What long it takes (in seconds) ?

When activating 0.5s
When deactivating 1s(sometimes more)

I think it is not a graphic problem but something behind as network manager, rfkill or iwlwifi
