The thing is users are OK with poor performance.
As the speed of computers increases, software speed remains pretty much the same.
Teams is an Electron app, I think, so the whole thing needs a huge baseline in order to work.
Being proud of a chat app now only using 500MB instead of 1000MB is odd.

- eternityforest 4y agoObviously they do, someone prioritized making teams 2x as fast, and many other apps seem to be faster too. The problem is they've only cared for like, the last 3 years, and everyone was enslaved by that "premature optimization is the root of all evil" quote for the last several decades, while blaming "complexity" for slowness.
- mike_hearn 4y agoThe people in charge of signing the checks do care but consider Office/Outlook to be non-negotiable, and then Teams is 'free', so it's seen as the lesser of two evils.
