It depends. Numerous times when internet is spotty Slack and Discord both on different occasions have brought my systems to a halt until they can complete whatever task is stuck waiting (or I force close them).

It's really fucking obnoxious that somehow a goddamn web app in a wrapper is managing to cause system wide hangs.

True, i'm gonna start limiting electron apps CPU and IO percentage to not halt everything

I think that's probably a recipe to hit the limits more often and end up being more frustrating, depending on your hardware.

Can't you interrupt them (aka SIGSTOP) instead? Then you could resume them, instead of reopening them and potentially using state.
