As a childish basic test, I timed loading gmail and yahoo mail. Chrome browser, FWIW. Browser open, and I just clicked the related bookmarks. How scientific of me!!!! Anyway.... 5 secs for gmail. (used for junk, lots of mail) 2 secs for yahoo mail. (main email) 1 sec, almost instant for outlook. (empty) So, I think we can forget the outlook speed. But I was surprised at the difference between gmail and yahoo. The cynical brain cells are also shocked that gmail isn't some how accelerated in chrome.
