Actual Behavior
I have configured 4 different WhatsApp accounts on Ferdium on my system.

I did not make any updates recently to macOS.
tried uninstalling and reinstalling still no luck.
so downgraded to 7.0.1

No steps required. For me, it's slow from the moment you load the program.

just downloaded it and same on Apple M4 - Sequioa 15.5
Edit: in my case it was because https://ferdium.org/download proposed the wrong version for my mac and I downloaded it (x64 instead of arm64). Once I installed arm64 it was much better!

This is interesting information. I don't remember which version was downloaded, but yes could be the reason for me as well. Not testing it now since I am happy with the older version for now.
I had the same issue, I checked the downloaded version and indeed the wrong version was offered on the website: x64 instead of arm64. I downloaded arm64 and now it works properly.

I just had the same problem. Got a new M4 MBP and when I visited the download page, it suggested I download the x64. After running it and noticing ferdium was wildly slow, I went searching and found this thread and only then did I realize I installed the wrong version. After installing the arm64 version, it's blazing fast. Should probably fix the download link
I just realized that I was experiencing slow performance. After reading, it was indeed also a problem related to a poor download suggestion.
I just came across this now. It's still suggesting the wrong download for ARM mac.
