The only PC where I saw Gmail being fast was a Ryzen 9 3900x build, I suspect that if Google devs were given shittier PCs they'd build faster products that would appeal more to the average user.
- cameronh90 7y agoI run a Core i5-2500K from 2011 and Gmail runs just fine. Far better than Thunderbird or Outlook ever did, but it does take a lot of memory.
- zbrozek 7y agoI have a Google-issued corporate workstation with 64 GB of RAM and 12 cores. Gmail is really really slow. Like so slow that I if I have to refresh it I'll go get coffee. But I'm on Firefox, and so "I Am Not The User" and all that.
- cameronbrown 7y agoIMO the best way to use Gmail is to open and pin it, only load once a day. It seems optimised for this use case.
- shscs911 7y agoEven better, just run Gmail in basic HTML mode. This way you can even open emails in their own tabs. Sure, you lose a bit of functionality, but its well worth the tradeoff, in my opinion.
