Three finger tap delay on touchpad

When trying to make use of a three finger tap to perform the equivalent of a mouse middle click on my laptop's touch pad, I notice a delay in the action in being executed. I use it mostly for opening and closing tabs in Firefox, and sometimes the delay is very long, up to 3 seconds. This is on Ubuntu 21.10 with Wayland (using X doesn't change anything).

Despite this, I tried using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with both Wayland and X and didn't run into this issue; in general the touch pad three finger taps were far more responsive, and so were the single finger taps as well. Does his have something to do with the LTS being on a different libinput driver version? If so how can I get my 21.10 version of Ubuntu to use that one instead?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
