When creating a managed disk from another disk, does it have the same background copy performance penalty as when creating from a snapshot?

For creating a disk from a snapshot, Microsoft docs say:
When you create a managed disk from a snapshot, it starts a background copy process. You can attach a disk to a VM while this process is running but you'll experience performance impact.
Is the same true if creating a managed disk using another managed disk as a source? Is it a fully complete clone or is there still a background copy involved?
