I have an over 100 mb/sec connection, but I deal with a LOT of email. When I bought this new computer and installed a new OS on it I tried using the web based gmail interface for a few weeks- took way too much time- when you get a couple hundred emails a day a few seconds lag on each adds up.
Something must be wrong with the OS or your actual connect speed. My gmail at 25mb (measured) opens new gmail almost before the mouse button is up.
Yeah- I can open them fast enough, but I have to deal with them then- every action has a delay, plus dealing with filters is much more cumbersome. I've dealt with gmail on multiple devices and OS's, and webmail simply is not as easy to work with as local if you are dealing with a large amount. The only reason I let gmail handle my domain email is spam filtering- hundreds daily from an address that has been public for 16 years now- google handles it quite well so far.
