On my Macbook pro: Mail is horribly slow with my 5gb of Gmail. And searching in Mail is even slower and worse, unreliable.

I have had better luck with Sparrow, but even that has its bouts (its slows down all of a sudden and then comes back, which makes me suspect its doing some background compaction/garbage collection).

Even though I am no longer a huge fan of the Gmail web interface, it still works the fastest.

I have somewhere between 15-20GB of e-mail in IMAP and Mail is quite responsive, and search is both fast and reliable.

Perhaps it's related to either your specific hardware, gmail, or Mail's support for gmail?
