If you are on matrix.org then likely yes. It is well know for being slow. As the biggest homeserver by a good margin it really struggles in the performance department. The operations you describe are all those that need to wait on the server.
If you want the best experience the best option is to get a dedicated server. There are various hosts that you can buy from (such as Element https://element.io/personal-plans) or you can run your own.
However it is also possible to find other public homeservers and many are free but I can’t attest to their performance as I haven’t tried them.
Isn’t this always the case? A server with dedicated resources just for you is going to give you the best response time. A server trying to squeeze lots of people onto low-cost hardware is going to be slower.
We all love someone giving us a great experience for free, but you can’t expect that. We are lucky enough that there are a handful of free homeservers available, but they still aren’t the same as something dedicated just for you.
syncing is slow, and sending/receiving messages, does that mean I should use another server ?

oh, do you have a suggestion for another server ?
@Icarus @kevincox Interested.

Really? Get your own server for the best experience?

sliding sync should help when it is finished
