Large number of data arrays causes lag in ParaView GUI

When selecting a source in the ParaView pipeline, that has a large number of data arrays (several thousand), the ParaView GUI takes a very long time to react.

Tested with ParaView 5.8.1 Linux binaries from paraview.org.

Steps to reproduce

many_arrays.pvsm

Create a sphere source and a programmable source with this code:

import vtk
for i in range(4096):
    d = vtk.vtkIntArray()
    d.SetName('Array_{}'.format(i))
    d.SetNumberOfComponents(1)
    d.SetNumberOfTuples(5)
    output.GetFieldData().AddArray(d)

ParaView already takes about 20s when first pressing apply (see log below). Similar lags are observed when changing the selection to the sphere source and back to the programmable source.
