The Slack client is a mind boggling exercise in excess. It often requires 500MB+ RAM when I am connected to two different Slack "networks" and it's an IRC client!? Honestly with so much money and theoretical engineering talent what went wrong here?
- geostyx 9y agoThat's insane. Discord is also an Electron app, and is currently using ~127MB (across 3 processes), and I'm in 29 servers.
- loader 9y agoMy current slack app session is using 27MB of ram.
- geostyx 9y agoI'm curious what makes use 500+ sometimes.
- quacker 9y agoYep. I'm sitting in two teams, about 15 channels between them. One of those teams has >5000 users and >3000 channels. The channels I'm in (excluding #general) each have between 20 and 80 users. Between the "Slack" and "Slack Helper" processes, the OS X slack client is using about 766MB of ram.
