I'm using Google Apps and haven't noticed any slow down. Still happy as Larry.

This is interesting. Are you using Firefox by any chance? I was incredibly frustrated with Gmail speed on Firefox for a couple of years, but after switching to Chrome haven't seen a problem on any of my boxes.

I had the same experience, but with Safari instead of Firefox. Really wonder why this is happening.

More specifically, if you have Firebug, then it slows down Gmail considerably.

But gmail detects it, and tells you about it - at least it did for me.

Are you from China by chance?

Why the downvote? It's a known fact that the government there is purposely slowing down access to Google properties.
