I was happy when we moved from the HipChat client that used several hundred MB of RAM over to Slack which is proving to at least be more svelt. I really don't want to go back to another RAM hog.

It's not like my laptop is just brimming with extra RAM, and being a Mac of course the RAM isn't user upgradeable.

My choice shouldn't be "be present in chat, or carry out work". Guess it's time to figure out IRC integration.

Use the Safari version of Slack. Push works and the Safari web content process is much smaller.

Except Safari keeps killing it because it's a CPU hog
