I agree that Electron is a bottleneck. That's something they'll have to deal with. However, there's a small difference between what this post is saying and what you're saying: "24x - 1400x fafster depending on what you're measuring" is quite different to "[the changes are] not really helpful". Regardless, I'm glad to see that they're embracing Rust in some way, distancing themselves from javascript. I hope the SDK will be good enough for a bustling ecosystem of efficient clients (and servers!). I'm also glad that people like you and I are making it clear that we value the reduction of sludge, we value efficiency and therefore inclusion for everyone, including those who have devices that aren't that powerful.

isn't their server a huge mess as well? Being very resource hungry and all?
