The recent upgrades to the Gmail
interface are, in general, okay by me. They haven't changed much of anything that I really care about too much. But there were some under-the-hood changes made to presumably make Gmail feel faster. One of them has managed to piss me off on a semi-regular basis.
I end up seeing that about 20% of the time when I go to close my Gmail tab. And that just annoys me. I feel like this effort to
focus on perceived responsiveness has actually slowed down the
system overall and I end up paying the price when I'm trying to get in and back out of my mailbox quickly.
Am I alone in this?
