That's still light years better than Slack.

The thing lags a few seconds while typing a message on a 20 core 128g ram machine. That's with their desktop (electron) app. Mercifully, the web app works better.

Still, CC blows it out of water. Slack is that bad.

Something important must be different about our Slack environments. Maybe it's the number of users, or possibly the OS?

We're a small company (about 150 Slack users), and I've run the Slack (Electron) app on a 16GB M2 (macOS) and a 4GB Chromebook (running a non-ChromeOS Linux), and it has never had any noteworthy performance issues.

It still sucks, but not because of performance.

your instance does that. Mine does no such thing and I don’t know anyone for whom it does.

Not to say it doesn’t, but it’s clearly not a universal issue.
