Astra is very good, but the ChatGPT windows app is soo bad

I've been giving Astra + Codex (from the windows app) a try for the past two days. Astra is pretty good, no complaints so far. But Oh My God the windows app has been extremely problematic from the start.

• It is weirdly laggy and resource intensive, right from the get go. Just having it open in the background, not doing anything, causes the fans to start up. During ordinary use (browser, light games, even while using IDEs) my laptop is completely silent for comparison.
• Google Pay button straight up didn't work. No error message or anything, the whole app jumps to the right as if it goes "nuh-uh". At least the stripe integration worked and was convenient.
• Minor nit: UX for creating a project was slightly confusing. It prompts you to create a project in a fresh window (probably when you don't have projects), but when I actually created one it didn't move it there until I went back and did it manually. The prject name is missing too, though I'm pretty sure I'd entered it while creating it.
• Sometimes the prompt box becomes incredibly laggy, I type a letter and it appears with a 2 sec delay. Happens even when the agent is not working.
• When I first open the App, opening the project back up can take up to 5 seconds.
• I committed the crime of opening the project and the chat window, and entering a prompt too fast today. My entire Windows UI froze up once I hit enter. Had to a full restart to fix.

Is it a hardware compat issue, same for everyone, or am I cursed
