How much memory does your MBP have? I imagine it's a 2GB machine and therefore is swapping like crazy. I have the same issue when trying to load modern web apps on my 2GB netbook. Setting up zswap improved performance a bit but then CPU became the bottleneck.
I have a 2008 C2Q Q9400/8G/SSD machine which is still used often, running Linux with Q45 IGPU. CPU load is low and it still has enough grunt to perform reasonably. I used it as a daily driver for many years and have never had an issue with web sites and basic office/dev work.
- johnklos 4y agoIt has the maximum of 6 gigs and a nice SATA SSD. It really does most things well, and I continued to use it for so long in large part because I didn't have anything better, and in part because it has a good amount of screen real estate (it's a 17"). Newer macOS is surprisingly not bad, even when you install a newer OS (Catalina) on to an older MacBook Pro that doesn't directly support it.
- _fjb4 4y agoHmm maybe it's a Mac thing then, as Discord works fine on my (newer) 4G Linux machines. Though I'll definitely agree that the site is very bloated.
