Maybe mIRC got bloated as of late, but my shitty Windows XP computer could easily handle multiple networks and 50-ish channels per network back in early 2000s, could it really have gotten so much worse since then?

I don't actually remember how good or bad mirc was. It was the most popular client at the time but lacked things I don't really remember, it was time to move on. I tried Quassel which was nice but it got slow as the logs grew. Then i tried a lot of clients.
