    I have a $3,000 computer with 16GB of RAM and a beefed up processor, but Slack, Chrome and Spotify bring it to its knees. A messaging app, a web browser, and a music player. I could comfortably run those on the hardware I had 20 yrs ago.

        so many things to unpack here... 1) why the hell do you have a $3k computer with only 16gb ram? 2) I can run all that and plenty more comfortably on my (much cheaper) computer with less ram 3) seriously, $3k? one of my pcs has 32gb and quad core 4ghz i7 and it only cost $900.

        no, your complaining about your computer being slow, i do not have a better machine than you (apparently) i use more chrome base stuff and heavy software, and still i can use it comfortably, so i dont think its the software at all. You've been robbed 2k. Sorry

        Why in fuck does slack run up so much RAM? That's the question all these geniuses are failing to answer. @SlackHQ why do you use so much RAM? Simple question.

        Might be slow storage. It’s recommended to run OS and core apps on an SSD

        Irrelevant. Divide between an ssd & hdd like he said. The core processor can run separate computations but the drive cannot unless its a quantum drive & you cant buy that commercially yet

        That's... Not how it works. The io subsystem can and does schedule many access at one. The drive orders those. "Seek" is always going to be better with SSD. Aside from all of that, none of these apps are io bound on disk.

        If you want to meet me at a dell lab someday, I will prove to you that the theory you quote is correct. But in reality the mechanical progression it follows is not as clear cut as the manufacturers & professors would have you believe.Interrupted signals are resent repeatedly.

        Sure, happy to meet at "dell lab". I used to work at LSI on high bandwidth ASICs over PCI but I'm sure it's the professors who have confused me.

        And Jim. No disrespect intended. I know you're tops. In this case we lost over $1M on a similar issue in our node/noc until we discover the fallacy

        Yes, you can definitely lose a pile of money just transitioning workloads to SSD especially if you're buying the hardware without knowing the trade-offs. I'm still doubtful that OS separation on storage for desktop apps is the issue. I suspect that it's processor cache thrashing.
