Vencord/Equicord plugin that makes Discord about ~60% faster when switching channels, hovering and opening popups without making anything look or behave differently
Discord loads its styles as hundreds of small stylesheet files and never combines them, after a while there are around 820 of them and every time Discord redraws something, the browser has to check each element against every one of those files.
FastRender merges them into a few files, keeping every rule in the same order and the original files are only switched off, never deleted...
| Action | Without | With | Faster by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Switching channels | 697 ms | 295 ms | 58% |
| Hovering, focusing, opening popups | 121.7 ms | 29.3 ms | 76% |
| Opening a big panel | 41.1 ms | 25.8 ms | 37% |
| Overall | 859.8 ms | 350.1 ms | 59% |
