Is it really that fast? When i check in Firefox it says gmail loads in around 5 secs but in reality i takes almost 40 secs to finish the loading and api calls.

I mean yah, GMail is loading a bunch more content in the background than ERA is, but the page is immediately responsive after the largest contentful paint. It's expected that more would continue to load asynchronously in the background, and does not impact the UX.Is it really that fast?

For me, the time until LCP is ~2.3s, which is when the GMail logo loads in the top left corner, and a pretty god indicator of when the rest of the page is loaded, as well (I think it actually is loaded/interactive a few hundred ms sooner):
It's the firefox. I always have two different browsers open (one on each screen, for differing purposes), and the firefox one is always way slow with opening the gmail web client. I've used chrome, vivaldi, opera, and now trying out edge, and they've all loaded it up super fast. But my firefox one (which is the constant while the other browser is to try out different new browsers lol idk it's just fun) has always been way slower. Once it's open, it works fine for the most part, but yeah, it's definitely way slower.
I've noticed sluggishness on my Windows 10 PC (Firefox, whatever the most recent stable build is, this has been consistent going back) going back some years. I think it's just Firefox though because when I use Chromium Edge to access it on my work PC it's fine.
I use it on firefox and it's pretty snappy. It lacks some stuff (like mark all read inside a custom folder), but otherwise it's good.
I've been trying to figure this out for a while.
It doesn't matter what browser, PC, mobile device, or network I'm on.
The initial Gmail load will take ~10-15 seconds. Once loaded in, everything is nigh-instantaneous. I'm wondering if it can be something account specific, but I'm not sure what setting could cause such a thing.
