Text notice lags behind action only w/new game

This isn't a big deal (to me at least) but I'm just curious if it's true for others, and if anyone knows the possible reason why this happens. Ever since the game was released, when I start a new character, initially the text messages that appear on the left upper corner of the screen are badly lagged from the actions that trigger them.

That is, if I pick a plant, it takes the game maybe 10-15 seconds before the text '2 broc flower added to inventory' suddenly pops up. If I get crit. hits on enemies, same thing. The tutorial messages, same thing. But the longer I play the character, the more the game seems to adjust and 'catch up', until eventually after several hours of playing the text pops up almost immediately, like I feel it should be doing in the first place. This happens even with no mods installed, and has occurred with all the versions of the official patches etc.

I know at least one other person I know who experienced the same thing, only for him it was fairly consistent through the game I think.

Is this a known issue/any reasons for it?
