Gmail on my AMD FX-8370 at 4 GHZ with 32GB RAM (and 60 MBit connection) takes... 5 seconds to load.

Gmail (HTML)... takes 0.5 seconds. (And about the same on my Netbook with a Celeron)

Guess which one I use? It's like the entire world has forgotten what productivity is.

On the other hand, once you are in gmail, everything is literally instant, opening the next email is faster than many desktop clients. It's designed for longer use, not drive-by. How long does it take to open a new mail in gmail lite? Do you have autocomplete on contacts and keyboard shortcuts for navigation and labeling?
