Do you have any idea how fast modern CPUs are?
I have used more complex native applications on Windows 95 that had less latency than Discord does, on a 10900k 20-thread CPU.
Modern terminals are quite slow compared to how fast the CPU itself it, because of the myriad of layers it sits upon.
And Discord is extremely slow it's not even funny. Having one single frame of additional lag between click and action, with modern PCs probably means billions of instructions being executed. For a glorified IRC client, to render a screen?
The problem is we all have become complacent and lazy, so we are used to software which is utterly inefficient and slow. You should throw all your IDEs in the bin, if only there was one that felt as snappy as Turbo C++ did 30 years ago.
