The non-JS version takes 1/3 loading time of the JS version: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/180402_0J_6a3f29516e9a8bcf... vs http://www.webpagetest.org/result/180402_Z3_1bd3e53e1be2668c...

Thanks. And I have a feeling that it would be much worst (aka better) for a mail.google.com inbox page, even if you keep the useful Javascript. But their javascript is so obfuscated that it is not too easy to test. One time I extracted a simple feature for gmail's javascript... it was fun (probably would be easier for a programmer though)
gmail has a basic html mode that is lightning fast.
