I have a suspicion it's because of the size of my Gmail box and the way that Gmail uses Javascript to render pages. I also have a suspicion that the Gmail and javascript cache a lot of my mailbox which might be some of the performance issues. So I have recently switched only my Gmail to use Chromium browser, everything else stays in Firefox. Now I don't seem to have any issues with either Firefox or my Gmail. -matt
