    I use a fairly modern laptop computer with 2 gigabytes of RAM, a 1.86ghz Celeron M processor and 100GB of hard disk space. Unfortunately despite my high-end setup I am unable to effectively use the new Yahoo Mail website due to its extremely poor performance, often taking minutes at a time to load a page, and this is in the latest version of Chrome or Firefox, with a fairly speedy 20mbps wireless network connection which is more than enough for (e.g.) 1920x1080 video streaming, viewing live streams at 1280x720 or even intensive multiplayer videogaming. I have also disabled all extensions, made sure the browser was up to date, made sure the operating system was up to date, however the latter factor seemed to negatively affect performance, and if it means anything I did update my drivers. Obviously I used Windows LTSC as it is still supported in the present day while supporting the IA-32 processor architecture my computer uses. Now, the website. It takes 3 minutes to load up a page. Firefox regularly asks me to cancel scripts that are running, which I choose not to as obviously it would break the entire page and I would have to reload. Your audience likely may not even have hardware on par performance with mine, considering the general demographic, and this situation could get even worse. Of course, practically no other website seems to take so long to load on my computer, in fact usually loading in under one second. I am not asking for continued access to the older interface, but rather a more efficiently designed version of the new interface, or perhaps an entirely new "lite interface" could be produced to suit a typical user's environment.
