Slack on my machine is currently taking ~1GiB of memory and 3% cpu to do nothing.

My irc client is taking 60MiB of memory and 0.01% cpu. My IRC client is responsive and faster, it has more configurable notification settings. I like the irc client more.

I just went to the bandcamp page and it indeed loaded very quickly. As far as I can tell, there's no react in use anywhere so I guess that's why.

What do you mean by bandcamp using react?

On my machine Slack is taking 100MB of memory and 0.1% CPU to do nothing. Maybe we are using different Slack or one of us is lying about the "doing nothing" thing.

It's possible I'm wrong about bandcamp using react but your guess is far from reality as well – react itself does not prevent or discourage loading pages very quickly.

I use localslackirc, so I can be on battery rather long.
