But I don't. I just loaded up gmail.com on the iPhone, and its nearly flawless. If I click the "show all folders" button, it seamlessly swings over. No lag, no jittery animation.

In fact, I use the built-in Mail app all the time. Loading gmail via IMAP in this Mail app is actually slower than the Gmail.com web app. For example, if I enter a subfolder I've created (labels), and haven't entered it in a long time, there's a considerable lag on the Mail app, and 1 second wait in the Gmail.com web app.

(iPhone 5 BTW)
