Discord. It takes like 12 seconds to start each time I launch it. Of course it's plenty fast after that, so I guess it's just the startup time that's slow.

Gotta register the mandatory tracking modules for the CIA, Red Army, MI6, Mossad, and FSB.

My laptop boots up in the same amount of time as discord starting up. That is kind of sad.

If anything it's pretty wild how fast computers start nowadays.

Nope, have used one in the past though.

Discord takes about 6-8 seconds for me, but if you think that's bad Steam takes 3 times that time for me.

Another problem with discord is CPU usage, it randomly decides to eat 40% of my i5-10400. Even while playing

Discord takes around a second to launch for me. Even after force-stopped.
Interesting.

Slack is slower imo, but I agree discord is slow too.

Slack starts faster for me, but it's also awful.
