Why does Gmail take several seconds to send a message?

A few months ago I made the switch from Outlook to Gmail… The switch has been mostly a good experience. However one issue I have detected lately is that messages are taking a little bit longer to send after I click the send button forcing me to sit around waiting like 10 seconds before I can do anything else in my inbox. So I just tried googling for "why does Gmail take several seconds to send a message" and guess what… No helpful search results. If I figure it out I will post the answer back here.

I spent at least an hour and a half looking around and Googling for things like: like strokeit gestures but for windows 8.1 and  multi touch trackpad gestures windows 8.1.

Windows onedrive doesn’t support file revisions… Sticking with dropbox

I was considering switching over to Microsoft's OneDrive because they give me one free terabyte with my annual office subscription. The OneDrive functionality is already baked right into Windows 8.1 so I decided to investigate further. For me, as a website developer OneDrive will not work for me because it does not support file revisions. Meaning if I have a file open in Photoshop and make lots of edits and saves throughout the day as I'm working on it: Dropbox will allow me to roll back to any of the previous versions made within the last 30 days. Side note: I'm not sure if the collective file size of all of those previous versions counts against my drive space allowance. [...]
