This is something we tried to improve in our Search Activity. I can't find the bug now but it was about improving perceived performance essentially. By loading "placeholders" that would animate in however we wanted, we could then take the time to just fade in the actual results.

I can see us employing a similar strategy here for these suggestion/history pills. I'd love to land this work too since it does feel REALLY rough at times.

Here's a static mock of what it'd look like.
