Sometimes I have to use my disgustingly slow beater laptop for DeFi stuff, and it can take over a minute for the Metamask window to open for me to confirm transactions (which is obviously the equivalent of several painful hours in crypto time). I noticed that it runs just fine after being opened, but would take forever to get there; at some point I experimented with leaving a Metamask window open and voila! No more frustrating lag when I'm trying to get that one final transaction through before wiping and flushing the toilet!All you have to do is click the three vertical dots on Metamask -> "Expand View". Then you can either resize your windows so that it's always showing, or alt-tab between them as needed. Pending transactions appear in the Activity tab and have to be clicked every time you want to confirm something. It takes some time getting used to switching windows rather than waiting for a pop up, but it really speeds things up on shitty machines.
