Gmail takes forever to load in my machine. How much worse is the performance if I disable the JIT? x5?

I recommend switching Gmail to HTML mode[1]. I switched a few months ago, so much faster, never looked back.

Or an email client of your choice? I don't even remember when I last checked my emails on a website.

only works until you log out, then once you log in again, its back to shit mode

No. Gmail is likely slow to load because it's loading, not because of code execution time. Disabling JIT doesn't make much difference for most users most od the time.

Protip: archive your inbox regulaely to improve gmail load time.
