I&apos;ve had gmail for years and actually pay for my google apps account. Like the author I assumed my growing mailbox size and filters were the reason for the increasing slowness. So I contacted support and after some investigation they noticed that I had tons of polling requests that were slowing down my account from connected apps (think greplin). They suggested I remove them. I was skeptical, but I did. Immediately gmail was BLAZING fast again. If your gmail or google apps is slow I highly recommend removing all connected apps ASAP:&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.google.com/accounts/IssuedAuthSubTokens&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https://www.google.com/accounts/IssuedAuthSubTokens&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Gmail as a Facade</title><url>http://jackg.org/gmail-as-a-facade</url></story>

Can&apos;t see any performance differences. Are others experiencing this?</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Gmail as a Facade</title><url>http://jackg.org/gmail-as-a-facade</url></story>
