Description

Currently there is a slowdown in switching channels when there are more than 1500 message lines in total.

We need to figure out how to correctly handle this. Maybe limiting the messages to 1500 would be an option or add animation so the slowdown isn't quite as obvious. We could also try to remove some jquery bloat when switching channels.
