> Gmail is blazingly fast

I would say that gmail performance is well above adequate – especially in search. But try Fastmail if you want to see blazing.

I've seen this claim several times in this thread now. Having used Fastmail since 2013, how is it blazingly fast since its UI will randomly perform a full reload when you switch back to its tab? It happens multiple times a day.

The last time I've had Gmail suddenly decide to reload the page the moment I need to use it? Never.

Uhm, people think gmail is fast? I can fetch a brand new page on my phone over 4G faster than browsing gmail on an i7 desktop. And fast search? Only if you don't have any desire to find anything.
