To clarify I meant that I didn't experience any issues sending or receiving messages on those clients and I asked "Is there any reason why should I check them?" in case you are aware of an issue that I should check.

The initial sync takes around this on my system as well which seems to grow depending on the complexity of the account e.g. account that joined X amount of channels and sent X amount of messages will need more resources for the login procedure due to the zero knowledge federation.

Could you try the client again for fresh data ideally outside of the matrix.org homeserver? I always have issues on the upstream homeserver so it makes me feel like its not representative of the network.

FWIW there is a script for weechat that integrates matrix as well.
