Personally I've noticed people tend to take a longer time saying something in chat than they would in person. And if I have to wait for a reply I'll probably start doing something else, potentially making the chat conversation go even slower.
I have little experience with group chats, in my limited exposure to them they tended to be more focussed on fun than productivity.
I also seem to be one of the few people that can quickly context switch between a conversation and actual work.
