Skype felt heavy, no matter the spec of the computer it felt bloated and sluggish. I’m not trading thr article, but teams is and discord took Skype outback had their way and threw Skype in a dumpster when they were done.
I did use Skype until 2010. It was rough on an Intel atom netbook lol. And the. Again on a 3rd gen i7 mobile. And again on a 4th gen desktop. All the way through I’ve had the opposite experience.

Original pre-microsoft Skype was not AS bloaty. It ran on my underpowered PC at the time with no issues.
Several patches/versions/whatever after Ms gutted the p2p aspect and centralized the servers, it slowed waaaaaay the hell down.
Make of that anecdotal evidence what you will.
