Perhaps the best thing Gmail has going for it is the power of search: the ability to instantly find everything. Except that instant is getting ..well longer and longer. And make no mistake, Google knows it, to the point that there is now a message recognizing the fact:
The Still working message comes up when you are waiting for search, stuck to the point that you can’t move away, stop the search …etc: your options are either wait it out, or close the browser/window. A Windows-like experience?

That message shows up whenever Gmail’s having network trouble or some other problem that causes the service to slow down; it’s not limited to delays in the search.
Although my main mail is still Yahoo, I’ve always admired Gmail for being able to attach files so quickly. I wonder what’s causing this delay? That “still working” would sound pretty funny if only it didn’t carry with it ominous implications for Gmail users.
Zoli,
I’m just curious if you a Windows or a Mac man? I would have to guess your all about IBM/Apple. I grew up on those machines myself and am very fond of them still in certain areas.
And yes…I have noticed some issues with Gmail lately that Google needs to address.
I hope all is well!
