When overriding the new tab page with an extension
(using chrome_url_overrides/newtab, this excellent extension: https://github.com/snw-mint/fluent-new-tab):

Each time webview2 starts and the new tab page is opened for the first time (edge://newtab),
the initial load takes more than 10 seconds—even on a fast machine.
In practice, this delay makes the extension almost unusable.
Of course Microsoft Edge does not suffer from this issue.

Note : after the NavigationStarting event and before the SourceChanged event,
this slow loading generate this message to debug output :

runtime 141.latest:

Also even without extension, the same problem exist when opening the page "edge://newtab" with inPrivate mode, it display an usefull internal page but after the same delay and the same error message to the debug output;
