Hi,
in Gmail (I've noticed it in other services too..)after you log in, progress bar appears. What does it do? Uploads all the JS(containing ajax) files into client's machine? or what?:)

Thnx!

I think it is waiting for the the AJAX response for retrieving your email, and as this is alot of information and there are ALOT of people doing that on the same moment, it takes some time before it all is retrieved :)

Progress bars are only for the entertainment for the clients so they don't get bored when something takes a while ;) (and makes sure they don't think it isn't working when the page is blank)
