Well it's a lot easier to make an app perform well in C++ than electron.

They should at least have for the VS Code team to help. That's one of the best performing Electron apps, it's strange MS never adopted those practices company wide.

Or they did, and it has more to do with different things happening on the network layer of individual machines.

Hmm when I compare the two in terms of CPU / Memory usage and speed, Teams is one of the worst performing electron apps on my system, and VS Code one of the best. I don't think this is just network related (and I have a 600/600 connection anyway).

Either way, even if this was the reason it would prove that Electron is not a good fit for an app like this.

Sounds like a lot of shit rolling downhill.
