1a: Yes. the second we have parity, we'll start turning it on by default for private rooms. We'll probably start with DMs, and we'll probably do a fairly soft roll-out to sneak in some final testing. Current status is that we have E2E Search working (github.com/matrix-org/seshat); we have E2E cross-signing almost done (https://dashboard.lant.uk/#/plan?epic=vector-im/user-stories... we have eyes on the remaining causes of undecryptable messages and are working through them. We're aiming for Jan.
3: Interesting. It could be a very temporary CPU saturation on the Matrix.org CPU master. We're working on sharding the master per-room to mitigate this, but it's going to be a few months to land.
4: Looks like there is a bug for this already - please upvote https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/10649.
Testing & reporting bugs is absolutely invaluable - thank you.
ad 3 - from my testing it's fine for about 98% of the time, but sometimes it takes ~3-8seconds to send a message (sitting on 300 or 500Mbps wired connection), in e2e direct message room
ad 4 - @ copy entire message - interesting, i needed it just recenly so i went into the submenu and there's show source, show decrypted source (which is cool but maybe something that should probably be enabled in via a toggle in the options menu) and quote but no message copy (and using quote messes up markdown formatting...)
ad many people asking - i totally understand that, however, this could be used as a roadmap for shipping features. And since I don't write code (read javascript) I am trying to contribute with testing/reporting bugs (so although not obvious from my OP, my testing continues as is suffering of my friends ;) )
