Scrolling lag on MacBook trackpad after upgrading to macOS Tahoe

I recently upgraded my MacBook to macOS Tahoe and since then the built-in and magic trackpad have been laggy when scrolling. The motion feels stuttery instead of smooth. Restarting my MacBook temporarily fixes the problem, but after some time the lag returns and I have to restart again, which is quite bothersome. Has anyone else experienced this after upgrading to Tahoe?

MacBook Pro (M1, 2020)
