No, I mean the clients.
element web consumes 2-3 GB of RAM according to
about:processes
when my matrix.org account with membership in a few dozen public rooms is logged in.The android client is also as slow as nearly nothing else on my phone. It lags, so much that it's not rare that I have to wait seconds before a click gets processed to start opening a menu.
And that's how it is when the app is synced. While it is still syncing it's even worse.
I have element x. It still can take seconds until it is usable, like if I haven't used it for a while, on a fast connection. But yeah, at least it's not minutes.
While most of the known chat apps already work this way, I am sad that element x won't try in any way to store a copy of my messages on the phone for offline access anymore.
