I count an average of 272ms to switch between teams in Slack. If my Ryzen 9 3900X CPU (base clock of 3.8Ghz) can do ~10 instructions per clock cycle on one core, that's ~10 billion instructions. What is Slack doing with 10B instructions!? ¹ Instructions per second Wikipedia pagepic.twitter.com/2TlaI0WnrV

My _very rough_ calculation: 1Ghz is 1B cycles per second, 10 instructions per cycle with 3.8Ghz clock is 38B instructions per second × 272/1000 = 10.3B instructions in 272ms (17 frames @ 60FPS).

This assumes Slack is only able to use 1 of my 24 logical cores. It's obviously a _very rough_ approximation, but that quarter second delay bugs me multiple times a day. My point is computers can do vast amounts of work in that time, delays like this need not occur.
