For context running Slack with a medium sized company workspace:

* Slack takes 6.5s to load on my 2021 Macbook.

* Slack consumes 366MB of RAM - if I browse around that rises to 744MB of RAM.

For the longest time Slack would kill my machine if colleagues posted gifs in messages. I'm no fan of Teams but I think there's plenty of shame to go around living in a world of eight core CPUs running large Electron apps.
