Animated images and emoji can be disabled in the Accessibility settings.

Spritesheets can be disabled under Advanced.

Maybe it helps, sorry I have no before/after but my Slack is sitting at 300MB right now and I deal with an high number of very active channels.

You must be overlooking all the helper processes.

Animated emojis can eat 100% CPU on my MacBook Pro if someone spams enough of them. It's insane how demanding and bloated the app is for what it does.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Except one animated emoji tagged on someone's message will do it for me on a new Macbook Pro.
