Slack is currently using 144 MB on my Windows machine (with a lot of public channels and DMs active). Electron may give up some performance for a lower development effort, but that's the known trade-off. I think you're making it sound a little more bleak than it actually is, current performance of Electron apps is pretty good (if designed properly).

Send me a screenshot and make sure it includes virtual memory as well. I've never had any embeded browser app to use less than a GB of overall memory (in most cases, Slack uses well over 2GB).
