With their migration to Chrome/electron/not sure what it is, Steam isn't as light weight as it used to be. Especially on older PC's. It noticeably slows down the start up, does eat a lot of ram. It's definitely noticable on a friend's 2014 laptop with 8GB ram and a slower SSD.

> It noticeably slows down the start up On my gaming PC I went into the Windows 10 Task Scheduler and added a task to run "steam.exe -silent" when the machine is idle for 10 minutes. That way it doesn't slow down booting but it does eventually get around to the updates if I fire it up and walk away.
