I was curious because you said in your experience the clients other than
Element worked well (which is not my experience).

When I used tried using it a couple years back it was consuming easily 1
GiB of memory in the browser, sometimes 2.  That's what I meant by
"large amount of resources".  In comparison, the WeeChat IRC client I
use holds in less than 20 MiB of RAM.

Thanks,
