How did you do these measurements? I would be shocked if the entire gmail webapp is 7.2KB.

Just looking at the Network tab in Chrome's inspector, I see a lot more than 7KB being transferred. It seems the main page on gmail is just loading the other j.s. files.

Same as you, even on disabled cache its about the same, thats why I was surprised.

edit: OK so in Incognito Mode i got 17KB which is a bit more believable, but why doesnt it show that in normal mode with disabled cache?

When I use incognito mode, I see about 200k of Javascript. I wonder why we're getting different sizes.

The largest file I see is the ?shva=1 /mail/u/0 file, clocking in at 173KB.
