No cache reload: 28 requests, 114KB, 2.45 seconds.
With cache: 28 requests, 12KB, 2.65 seconds. Funny: UI seems ready after 1 second, but there's an eventsource request that dwarfs the rest in the waterfall, taking the rest of the time.
Edit: playing around with the UI, feels close to native.
Edit 2: downvotes, feel free to engage in discussion. Getting tired of the HN mob.
- artwr 8y agoThanks for the informative benchmark. I am (slowly) considering alternatives, are you also considering making the jump?
- bassman9000 8y agoStrongly, yes. Fastmail has a help/blog post to help you migrate. I'm concerned about the large size of my gmail inbox (13+ year user), though. They mention actual emails import too, but haven't tested yet.
