I’ve been using the web app for a few weeks now, and I’ve been absolutely loving the increased load speed.
I’m not a huge email person – I get about 10 emails a day on average – but something had really started to slow the refresh rate of my Gmail inbox over the past two weeks. Instead of refreshing in about 1-3 seconds, the web app took upwards of 10 seconds to show me if there was anything new in the inbox. I was racking my brain over what had changed…and then I saw the 40-message threaded conversation I’d been having with someone over the holidays. We had been exchanging long e-mails about drafts, and each reply contained all of the words from the previous replies, and so it was that a little conversation morphed into some horrific Godzilla e-mail that toppled over the Tokyo of my Gmail inbox (is that poetic, or is that just nerdy?).
Once I archived that conversation my Gmail web app was back to being spry and reactive, with a renewed refresh rate of about two seconds. So I guess the moral of the story for heavy Gmail users is to clear your inbox of huge e-mails…or maybe just don’t talk so bloody much under the same subject header. 😉
