> Not i3 snappy

i3 isn't even snappy, the default application launcher can take up to 10 seconds to open on my old laptop.

There is a faster application launcher you can use instead, but you have to hunt through github issues to find out about it. The i3 project maintainers seem to actively object to telling users about 3rd party components and simultaneously refuse to integrate them or improve the default behaviour.

Are you talking about dmenu? That's always been fast on my machine (sway, not i3).
Yup, although it's i3 not dmenu causing the problem.
