If you think the lag in teams is bad try using slack, especially on a lower-end laptop! Used to be relatively snappy 4-5 years ago and I swear it gets slower with every update now.
There's a noticeable reaction time between clicking on a person's image in the left bar and the screen being updated. Even when going back and forth between two contacts, even with 64 GB of RAM, so you'd think they'd cache it somehow.
Sometimes when scrolling up in the chat, it goes back down then continues scrolling up (even when the contact is offline, so nothing changes the history).
Even the buttons on the left side (activity / chat / teams / etc) lag when the mouse just passes on top of them.
Also for some reason there are regular CPU spikes (on the order of 20% of an 8th gen desktop i5) even when I'm not actively using it.
I find it so stupid that this same computer can run fairly new games at 4K resolution with all settings at the max and nearly 60 FPS, but it somehow struggles to update a chat application.
