Potential performance issue in Face-Recognition-with-ArcFace: plotting slow in matplotlib == 3.3.0

[HarryCollins2]

Description

Hello.
I have discovered a performance degradation in the plot function of matplotlib version 3.3.0. And I notice the research project, Face-Recognition-with-ArcFace, depends on pandas 3.3.0 in requirements.txt. I am not sure whether this performance problem in matplotlib will affect this repository. I found some discussions on matplotlib GitHub related to this issue, including matplotlib/matplotlib#18743.

Suggestion

I would recommend considering an version change to matplotlib >= 3.3.3 or <3.3.0(e.g. 3.2.2) or exploring other solutions to optimize the performance of plotting.
Any other workarounds or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
