Admin tool navigation significantly slower on 2.19

I've been noticing that my WeBWorK server feels a lot less responsive with 2.19 than previous versions.

Homework questions and answer checking seem fine, so the student experience should be OK.

But (for example) in the Sets Manager, if I click on the number of problems for a homework set (under the Problems) column, there's initially no response to the click, and it takes 5 seconds or more before the Set Detail page begins to load. Server side I don't see any issues with system resources -- memory, CPU, and load all seem normal.

Has anyone else encountered similar issues?

Do you see anything in your browser's error console?

The console is clean. The only thing I can find is an issue: "A form field element should have an id or name attribute".

It seems to be only the set detail pages that are slow to load. Everything else is fine.

I don't see any delays when loading a set detail page.  Are there a large number of problems in your set?

Does this happen in a fresh course (i.e. one that was newly created and didn't have anything imported from old courses)?

In my case, this is a course that was created from an archive of the same course last year, but all the problem sets are new.

Each one has about 12 problems, and there are so far no students enrolled.

If it's just me, I can live with it! I can't see anything I might be doing differently.
