At least on Windows slack has pretty terrible performance. I wish i could go back to hipchat. I regularly experience perceptible lag when typing, which doesn't happen anywhere else.

EDIT: This is a fairly recent problem. A month or two ago, I had never experienced this.

Not recent. May have gotten worse, but last I tried it was heavier than hangouts; yeah, text chat chewing up more cpu than streaming video. Pretty rough.

Folks on Macs had no idea what I was complaining about though. Go fig.
