I imagine the logic is that people usually keep Gmail open in a tab which might be reloaded once per day. So people aren't likely to switch email providers because of 20 seconds a day.

That said, I've found Gmail to be pretty sluggish even after loading, so I use it via email clients with my other accounts.

My Gmail tab that I leave pinned regularly loses connection and stops updating. It seems more and more these days Google things just break when you don't use Chrome. Using Gmail with Firefox hasn't felt fast in a long while.

This seems quite a common complaint, but gmail has always been pretty snappy for me. I wonder what causes the variability?
