There's something weird going on honestly.

On an i9-14900K, arguably one of the fastest CPUs in the previous few years (and excusing their design defect that causes them to die); Teams is significantly slower than on the Quallcom Snapdragon X-Elite, or my Macbook.

It seems to perform the same as it would on an i9 platform as it does on i5 laptop's of the same generation (in terms of input latency and drawing to the screen etc;)

I know it's apples/oranges, that ARM CPUs are substantially different than x86 ones, but the fact that it seems to be the same on significantly lower clocked (and lower consumptive) chips indicate to me that something very bizarre is happening when it comes to Teams.

ARM chips seem to be significantly better for electron applications, but something unique exists within Teams here.

No potato, quite the contrary, and it’s not that it hogs resources. It’s just slow within. I can also keep a video call open and do other things outside of teams. But doing any multitasking within teams is just a nightmare. Open a second chat while in a video call makes the video into a thumbnail. Searching through other chats to copy and forward into a third chat... Just not possible, because everything is modal and resetting the scroll location when toggling between. On top of that it’s just overall slow slow slow.

It's not that it hogs resources. The app is just slow. So so so so terribly slow.

And half of the time it crashes. Or the video/audio doesn't work.
