Really? Gmail is more pure than it's ever been IMO. Here's a screenshot I took today: http://i.imgur.com/iVZ306S.png http://i.imgur.com/iVZ306S.png (I've been using this account for 6-7 years.) Chat has been apart of Gmail for a long time, and it's always been easy to turn it off. I barely even notice the Google+ integration, usually it's just pulling in profile stuff for the right sidebar. Now, Gmail not opening quickly has been a common complaint for many years, and seems to usually (but not always) correspond to the account having a lot of mail (usually in archives.) But that's more of a complaint of using Gmail for years and years. Certainly, they should upgrade their architecture so it isn't as much of a problem.
