On what platform are you seeing this? Element is three different apps on iOS/Android/Web and they implement scrolling differently. There is no architectural reason in Matrix why it should be slower than TG.
- johnchristopher 6y ago> There is no architectural reason in Matrix why it should be slower than TG. Then why is it ?
- smoldesu 6y agoProbably because the people developing these clients aren't being bankrolled by multi-million dollar companies with private interests. The previous poster was correct; Matrix is a protocol, and so your performance really comes down to whatever client you're using it with. Element is a web app, so it will inevitably be pretty slow. If you want a client that won't slow down, look into Fractal, a GTK Matrix frontend written in Rust. If that doesn't iron out your performance issues, you just have a slow machine/connection.
- johnchristopher 6y agoFractal is actually responsive, I am actually impressed. It's not bankrolled by multi-million dollar companies though and Telegram web app is way faster so something doesn't add.
- meibo 6y agoThey are probably talking about the Matrix.org instance being slow at fetching messages for you, additionally to the delay needed to get keys for them in encrypted rooms. This is far nicer on smaller home servers, but matrix.org is the "default experience" of element and that's what people are judging it by.
