That's insane. Discord is also an Electron app, and is currently using ~127MB (across 3 processes), and I'm in 29 servers.

Yep. I'm sitting in two teams, about 15 channels between them. One of those teams has >5000 users and >3000 channels. The channels I'm in (excluding #general) each have between 20 and 80 users.

Between the "Slack" and "Slack Helper" processes, the OS X slack client is using about 766MB of ram.

My current slack app session is using 27MB of ram.

I'm curious what makes use 500+ sometimes.
