How to change AppCompatCheckBox color efficiently?

Question

I found a very strange behaviour in my AppCompatCheckBox, already searched a fix for it but didn't find, that's why I decided to ask here.

I was trying to change the checked AppCompatCheckBox color programatically (as my app's color scheme changes dinamically, I can't use the XML attributes to color the CheckBox), so I used this approach:

chkTos = (AppCompatCheckBox) findViewById(R.id.checkboxTos);

ColorStateList colorStateList = new ColorStateList(
            new int[][]{
                    new int[]{-android.R.attr.state_checked},
                    new int[]{android.R.attr.state_checked},
            },
            new int[]{

                    Color.DKGRAY,
                    Color.RED,
            }
    );
chkTos.setSupportButtonTintList(colorStateList);

it worked, the checked color is now red, but the animation is now VERY SLOW. The performance is terrible! How can I fix this?

Have you experienced anything like this? I wanted to show you it in action, will try to create a gif of it! Maybe this is a bug on the support library?

For anyone still struggling with this bug, instead of setting the SupportButtonTintList you have to set the ButtonTintList with the colorStateList you want. So the code will be like:

chkTos.setButtonTintList(colorStateList);
