Microsoft Outlook on Mac: it can teak easily 2000ms to close(!) a window, are you kidding me?
On my new 8th gen i7, restoring a Skype for Business window (from the task bar, so it's already running), I've measured at sometimes in excess of 10 seconds for it to restore. No other application I use exhibits such horrible performance.
I can see the typing latency in the latest version of Outlook, too, when composing an email. And don't even get me started on web-based Outlook, the performance is abysmal.
Not sure what's going on at Microsoft lately, but something very, very wrong has been happening for 3-4 years now.
