Original pre-microsoft Skype was not AS bloaty. It ran on my underpowered PC at the time with no issues.
Several patches/versions/whatever after Ms gutted the p2p aspect and centralized the servers, it slowed waaaaaay the hell down.
Make of that anecdotal evidence what you will.
I did use Skype until 2010. It was rough on an Intel atom netbook lol. And the. Again on a 3rd gen i7 mobile. And again on a 4th gen desktop. All the way through I've had the opposite experience.
