Delayed animations on chests and gens?

I'm just curious if anyone knows why this happens or what it means. For the past couple of updates, I've noticed delayed animations on gens and chests. You can't tell the gens are done until you get very close to them, at which point their lights change from flickering to solid. Or, you walk by a chest and it suddenly acts haunted, popping open while the sound effect plays.

It's confusing sometimes, because it makes you think someone else is there when they're not, but otherwise it's not a big deal. I'm just wondering what causes it?
