In reply toGTK4 Matrix Clientby ushakov

Not an issue of spaces per se but with >1000 rooms/DMs, the Element Desktop UI can become very unresponsive, to the point of being barely usable, and sometimes freezes completely requiring killing the process. I haven't pinpointed the exact condition(s) that makes it freeze up/get very sluggish but even on good days it takes >5s to expand the "People" list.

This is on a modern desktop CPU with plenty of memory headroom. It never happened so far on a profile with less chats.

I hope that will improve when they switch out the Matrix implementation from JS to Rust, especially for the desktop version. (which is planned, I think)

Linux, x86_64. Getting the same behavior across distros and installations.
