Does the Stride client not resource hungry like Slack?

Slack client uses much resources like memory and hurts battery. I hope Stride is more efficient and optimized with regards to resource consumption.

Stride is consuming big ram, it is consumes ram more then google chrome, please give head to development of desktop app and clear the bugs

Hi Roy,

The pre-release desktop client is currently running in Electron (for details on why electron apps are bad, see here).

That being said, it currently is consuming only 1/3 of the RAM and 1/2 of the CPU that Slack is on my machine. Let's hope that those numbers stay low as the program is released more widely!

Hey @Roy Evangelista,

Figured I'd give an update, we're using Stride at work and, unfortunately, it does use a lot of memory. I can't speak to how it compares to Slack, but it regularly uses 0.3-0.5GB of RAM for me. I've tried using the web app, but that ends up using a similar amount of energy for the one tab on Chrome.

Kinda disappointing because it's using a similar amount as Spotify and Visual Studio, but it's a nice app so it's worth dealing with it most of the time.

Best,

Josh
