I suspect this has more to do with network speed than platform or browser time spent parsing / executing js.

- stevew20 8y agoNo, takes a ridiculously long time on my school's network, which is blazing fast. It's limited by my laptops cpu and ram, which is maxed the whole time it's loading
- jcelerier 8y agoI'm on gigabit fiber and it's still slow as molasses
- Aeolun 8y agoThat’s not being fair to the molasses.
- TheAceOfHearts 8y agoGMail is incredibly slow on every browser that isn't Chrome. I have gigabit internet and I can assure you it's not a bandwidth problem.
- esturk 8y agoYou should disclose the fact you work for Google beforehand because you blaming the issue on something else looks bad for Google.
- mattnewton 8y agoAh yes, sorry, to be clear I wasn’t attempting to shift any blame to a network provider, just remarking that the OP might be experiencing faster load times on the same browser / OS because of network conditions. And, network conditions aren’t entirely outside of Google’s control either- the size of the payload and where it is served from have massive effects on that. I am speculating about the cause of the relatively faster data point I was responding to. I do work for Google as a web engineer, but not on Gmail and have no insider insight on gmail speed.
