Have you used Riot on mobile recently? Sure it's not perfect, but it consistently outperforms FB Messenger on my very poor phone.

No, mostly because the Matrix homeserver still needs ridiculous amounts of memory. Apparently 1GB if you want to join one of the more crowded channels – what for could a chat server actually use 1GB of memory?! That's a billion characters you can store in there, even at hundreds of messages per second (which I suppose would make the channel unusable anyways?) you don't get to a billion characters very quickly.
