Steam Library and Notifications loading slowly

I'm not sure what's going on but my Steam Client has been loading slowly when scrolling through my library and clicking on a game, as well as notifications. If someone messages me, the box will pop up and then it takes a second before the text is visible. Achievements pop up but takes a second for the sound to fire off. It's not debilitating by any means but very annoying.

Tried clearing cache and reinstalled, but issue persists. Any ideas? Thanks
