6x is minimal for me considering how complex Gmail is. It's not that slow. I can use it quickly and get up running and it's okay for anyone unless you're a person who is not patient for few seconds.

You always have the option for loading "Basic HTML" and you can get Protonmail or Toyota like experience there ;)

I don't know what's your agenda really is. Attacking DRMs are bad.

You have issues like spammers abusing Gmail interface to send emails using Google IPs and there DRM rocks.
