I hear people say that about Nextcloud often, which is part of why I haven’t bothered setting it up yet.

Is there a technical reason why it’s slow and clunky? Any problematic choices with how it was built?

    Likely because it’s mainly written in PHP and the default database is SQLite, which is not great for large deployments.

    But I use Nextcloud daily on a low end machine and I don’t think it’s that bad.

        PHP for sure can have a negative effect depending on how they are handling their data access through.

        The application code itself running on PHP probably isn’t a problem but the influence that PHP may have over your data access patterns can be a source of significant performance problems.
