Delay in automation between trigger and action

I have this automation:

- id: SyncDenLights
  alias: Sync Den Lights
  trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: light.switchlinc_dimmer_4e_d9_db
    attribute: brightness
  action:
  - service: light.turn_on
    target:
      entity_id: light.switchlinc_dimmer_58_40_ac
    data:
      brightness: '{{ state_attr( ''light.switchlinc_dimmer_4e_d9_db'', ''brightness''
        ) | int(0) }}'

When I turn on or set the brightness of light.switchlinc_dimmer_4e_d9_db, light.switchlinc_dimmer_58_40_ac is set to the same brightness, which is what I want.

But, the target doesn’t do that operation until about 3 or 4 seconds from when the “source” light is changed. Can’t this be made to happen immediately so that they look in sync?
