I gave up on the Slack desktop client after regularly finding it using 3GB of RAM for no obvious reason. Switched to the browser client but found it buggier and needed to be refreshed periodically due to becoming so slow that there was a noticeable delay on keypresses. Now I'm using Slack via XMPP using Pidgin and things are much, much better.
