why is gmail so slow
I am noticing that Gmail is really slow. This is most noticeable in 3 places - sync from iphone, loading gmail the first time in browser, also when opening up a unread message
I’m sad

Inappropriate?Its not just Gmail, its all the Google apps like Reader, Calender etc. Sometimes it just takes for ever to do a simple action like delete. And sometimes they just won't load, instead hanging forever.

Inappropriate?I had slow Gmail on various computers on Firefox and eventually found Ask.com toolbar in Tools/Addons,
When this addon was deleted Gmail run OK -

Inappropriate?I have exactly the same problem. The easiest solution is to use THE OLD VERSION option at the top of the page. It is a pity that it cannot be made as a default, so each time you enter gmail you need to click on this option.

Inappropriate?If I use old version, can this improve performance even if I use Mail for Mac as IMAP or will be the same ?
Thanks -
Inappropriate?Just noticed the old version option is GONE from gmail browser. Where does it go? I can't use gmail with IE 8 browser on a Vista machine using the new version of gmail - it is just Sooo DAMN SLOOOOoooooow!
I’m mad

Inappropriate?I had the same problem. I was getting ready to jump ship. I downloaded Google Chrome. Very fast. I use it just for email and browsing. Not for paying bills and secure stuff like that. Hope this helps.

Inappropriate?I also have performance issues when running GMail in Firefox and also Chrome.
The page elements for status (displayed in yellow at top of the screen - showing "Loading" or "Sending" for instance) will hang for minutes on end.
This is NOT related to a slow internet conneciton. We have a dedicated fibre link.. Note - I have also noticed Youtube videos take longer to initialize.
Have Google changed their infrastructure?
