Agreed. Gmail is a rampant lagfest whenever I end up using it (I only go to update filters and labels anymore). The HTML site is a lot more responsive and usable IME (though the filter form's length limits need edited in a debugger to fit my queries). With the "plain" HTML frontend filter updates are fast because it's all done directly to the database. With the "fancy" frontend, it seems to be client-side driven and take minutes to "apply and update" any changes.
