There's also weird bugs/features. Have an animated emoji in the currently active channel. Just one. Put Slack in the background - it's still using 10%-15% of a 2016 MBP CPU. WTF.
- jbergstroem 9y agoI noticed this a while back too. Switch to a private chat that only contains text when you tab out of a team and it doesn't hog. I think the "don't draw in inactive windows/tabs" feature implemented in most browsers is missing.
- MichaelGG 9y agoEven without the optimisation - I recall seeing animated gifs on older hardware without a huge cost. What is it doing? It's like when Google Play Music takes 20% of my 4-thread 1-2GHz i5. I'm pretty sure I listened to MP3s on a Pentium 166 without it pegging the CPU completely. (And Google Play on Android... on a Nexus 5, I'll sometimes wait 5+ seconds for the playlist to open after clicking the icon.)

I remember upgrading from a 486 to a Pentium 166 and being excited that I could finally play 44khz stereo MP3s at full quality and not be constantly skipping. I could even browse the web at 56k at the same time!
