Here in Europe (Poland) it's also very slow. I was convinced it was a problem with my ISP, but now it is getting scary.

  Scary? You must have a great life--on my list of scary things Google running slowly doesn't even register. They're having some latency issues and have no doubt dispatched people to work on it. Business as usual.

    Scary is the fact of how dependent I am on this single company. They have my e-mails, they have my jabber account, they have some of my documents, they host the stats of my websites, people find my stuff using their search engine... Not to mention that my job becomes radically more difficult without the search (how am I supposed to find new libraries I need and documentation, hm?). I usually don't realize all this stuff until something goes wrong (eg. they have latency problems). When everything just works having Google feels as natural as having fresh air or fresh water... And yes, thank you, I have a great life :-)

      The thing is, would you do better if you host all your stuff yourself? I know I wouldn't - so far Gmail has been down far less than my own mail server. Every now and then an update on my server breaks some stuff and I have to spend a few hours of my precious time fixing it. So far Google has saved me more time and hassle than when I host stuff myself, even with all the Google downtime.
