Aargh ... what did us poor folk do to deserve this? I understand ~2000
of those Gmail users are only spectators, but most others don't have a
choice. In my case, my university doesn't allow mailboxes to go beyond
a certain limit and only a couple of weeks worth of lkml would eat
that up. And I suspect other free web mail servers that offer 3 GB of
space too would be equally slower. But I do hope someone from Google
listened to this -- half a second per recipient ... *sucks*.
