- ithkuil 6y agoIsn't this a good indication that the performance problem if gmail may not be related to the "bloat" of the frontend itself?
- yjftsjthsd-h 6y agoIt might suggest that the frontend isn't the only issue, at least - and maybe this explains why it's usually so slow, if the frontend can be fast on a fast enough backend. On the other hand, the speed of the "basic HTML" version implies that the frontend can be the issue.
- savanaly 6y agoEntirely possible as well that the "basic HTML" uses different API service in the background that are snappier for comparative lack of users.
- fleaaa 6y agoI always thought gmail being slow is because of me using firefox but now it's surprisingly snappy. What the hell is going on?
- proto-n 6y agoWow, it's faster in firefox than it used to be in chrome... while in chrome it's almost isntanteneous
