If you're serious about your competitive shooters, you'll know that every single frame per second counts, so anything that gets in the way of that is something to be avoided. But what if the software you're using to chat with teammates is actually making things worse? According to some folks, that's precisely what Discord is doing, and it's because of process priorities.
First, let me just say that this doesn't seem to be a particularly widely reported issue, but we have noticed various claims cropping up on social media that Discord's default process priorities are too high. This, in turn, takes up too much of your CPU's time, resulting in lower frame rates, spikes in frame times, and whatnot.
