&gt; I was doing quick testing of other clients +- 7 months ago and decided to use element. I didn't do any additional testing<br>
&gt; after that. Is there any reason why should I check them?</p>

<p dir="ltr">&gt; I am not aware of any matrix's client that requires a large amount of processing resources to operate (excluding miitrix<br>
&gt; for Nintendo DS allegedly which is allegedly due to the used Infrastructure on the device).. would be a major problem for<br>
&gt; me if it did as my devices are optimized for battery life and tent to overheat on such use.</p>
<p dir="ltr">When I used tried using it a couple years back it was consuming easily 1<br>
GiB of memory in the browser, sometimes 2. That's what I meant by<br>
"large amount of resources". In comparison, the WeeChat IRC client I<br>
use holds in less than 20 MiB of RAM.</p>
