> Feels snappy.

I wonder if this is just everyone else using it on massive gamer PCs and me using it on mobile/chromebook, but .. no. It it is not snappy. The process of fetching all the new messages and rendering them takes up to a second.

I don't understand why people who insist on 60fps games are happy with a 1fps chat app, but I guess they don't have that experience.

I'm using a $6000 gaming rig I put together and Discord is one of the worst performing apps I use, so I'm with you on this one.
Could this be an internet connection issue?

Do you even have slow performance when switching between two channels that are "loaded"?

Even on mobile switching channel feels snappy to me. The images can take a while if they are not cached yet.
