gmail getting slow

is it just me or is gmail getting slower?

i remember a time when i could send an email to my gmail account and it would show up in my inbox by the time i switched tabs to look for it.

both yesterday and today i did the same thing but it has taken upwards of 5-10 minutes to show up in my inbox.

anyone else seeing this problem or having less of an issue with a different email service?

maybe i'm being petty but 10 minutes feels like eternity when i'm sitting here constantly clicking the refresh button waiting for my password reminder...

I've never had an issue with standard gmail or my new mousseau.info google apps account. Maybe the site sending the password reminder was slow to send? BTW, if you've having a problem remembering passwords check out lastpass.

this lastpass looks cool at first glance, how long have you been using it?

About 6 months. I use it primarily for the password vault. I've found that it's not that great at form filling (like name, address, card #, etc).
