Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In the desktop app, chats with a large number of messages take a very long time to open, especially if they're in Markdown format. I assume the entire message history is being read. In the browser, this happens much faster.

Describe the solution you'd like
Is there a way to open the most recent messages first and then, if necessary, read older messages in the background?

Describe alternatives you've considered
No.

Additional context

Hi,

Is it about opening the chat the first time, when messages are received from server, or continuously opening of the same chat, so it's loaded from memory?

Hi,

This happens every time. Messages load faster than the first time, but they still take a long time, several seconds each time. Furthermore, while loading, the messages jump around the screen, the scroll bar jumps up and down, and after loading, I don't see the latest message, the viewing position is set several messages higher.

Just in case, I would like to clarify that most of the messages in markdown format are automatic messages from the external helpdesk system. They contain formatted text and web links.
