Discord. It takes like 12 seconds to start each time I launch it. Of course it's plenty fast after that, so I guess it's just the startup time that's slow.
I use discord.com instead of the app now because of this. I mostly just dip in for a minute or two and then leave, so the startup time (including the 4-a-day desktop client updates..??) is a major barrier. And the website is great - you honestly couldn't tell the difference, except you can use the browser zoom to make things like images and reactions bigger, which you can't on the app.
Them updating the desktop client multiple times a day is crazy to me. What, so every time any developer commits a typo fix in a comment they have to immediately push that to live? Updating every time I open the client is crazy. The website loads really quickly.
