So, I cannot reproduce his findings. My system (same setup, Slack native app on macOS) is consuming 1.6% CPU, about 0.6 GB memory, and has avg. energy impact of 3.22 with current being 0.0.
The memory is high, but a lot less than Chrome and nothing near what the author is seeing.
Only differences I can see:
- I'm signed into two accounts while the author is signed into 11.
- The author is CEO of a competing messaging platform.

More experiments might be needed here.
