Loads less than a second for me using the website. I'm just on a 1st gen Mac Mini M1 w/ Chrome. I mainly use Discord for MidJourney, it has always been smooth.

Are there any benefits/features to using their Electron desktop app?

I generally find that it's easier to interact with AV devices (webcams, microphones) on the desktop app, than when having to deal with a browser's opinions. It also separates it from your browser, which might be desirable if you keep a bunch of tabs and don't want them open in the background.

I use either option in different circumstances, they're both comparably fine.
