Trello web app uses excessive memory and slows down multi-app setups
Trello consumes significant RAM when running alongside other applications, causing system slowdowns that force users to close the app. This is particularly problematic for users on lower-spec hardware or with memory-intensive workflows. The issue is a performance regression rather than a feature gap.

ClickUp frequently freezes and uses excessive memory, especially when switching between projects. This interrupts workflow and degrades productivity. The issue appears systemic to the Electron-based app architecture.
Trello Mobile App Performance and Responsiveness
A user complains that Trello is very unresponsive and slow to refresh or upload. This is a vendor-specific performance complaint with minimal detail and no broader market signal.
Trello Becomes Laggy and Unusable When Boards Contain Many Cards
Trello's interface slows significantly when a board accumulates a large number of cards. This prevents users from maintaining a single board for both active work and idea collection simultaneously. Teams managing dense projects must either split boards or accept degraded performance.
Trello Becomes Slow and Unwieldy as Team Board Count Grows
Trello's flat board architecture does not scale well as organizations grow, causing performance degradation and navigation difficulty when many boards accumulate. Teams managing multiple projects face increasing overhead just to find the right board. This is a structural constraint of the tool's design, not a configuration issue.
Slack Desktop App Consumes Excessive RAM and CPU on Laptops
Slack's Electron-based desktop application is notorious for high memory and CPU consumption, degrading performance on laptops especially when multiple workspaces are open. This forces users to close Slack to reclaim system resources or accept reduced responsiveness across other applications. The issue has persisted for years and is a known architectural constraint of the Electron framework.
