I've noticed maps is considerably slower and less responsive. Google has become corporatized so I'm keeping my expectations in check.
I'm considering switching from Gmail for similar reasons - multi-second delays when switching to a label are kinda unacceptable. But this is 2014, and if I'm going to switch, it needs to be to a desktop application so that I can have some vague semblance of security - at least supporting PGP mail and accepting messages which happen to be delivered securely with STARTTLS without the possibility of eavesdropping on my…
