I haven't used the web gmail in ages, however I have to agree that Facebook is slow and terrible to use.
I have not yet found a computer and browser combination that's capable of handling their site for an extended period. Simply put, if you use it for a long enough time, visit groups you're a member of, scroll through the messages there and talk in group chats the Facebook tab will eventually slow down so much that after a while even your keyboard input will become laggy. Whether that's on a year old 15" MacBook Pro with an i7 and 16 gigs of ram in Safari or a full Windowe 10 desktop with 32 gigs of ram, you'll eventually run into having to close and reopen the tab again.
They just seem to be generating incredibly complex dom trees for the simplest of components for no discernible reason whatsoever. A friend in a similar situation permanently shifted his Facebook usage to exclusively using Messenger.com partly because of this.
