wpdatatables 5.7 – New Update Issue

I utilize wpdatatables to present images and utilize the filter function to view pictures based on a theme.  I select a theme and the those pictures are presented on my website.   I installed 5.7 and 5.7.1. Those versions are making the wpdatatables table filtering very slow making for very long webpage load times when I select the theme of pictures I want to view. I don’t’ have this issue with 5.6.1 and thus have reverted back to that version. Anyone have a idea what would cause the slow down? It’s dramatic.
