Gmail's new loading interface

Today while logging on to gmail, I pleasantly found that the 'loading..' page has changed quite a bit. Now a progress bar is there and most importantly a link at the bottom to switch to the basic HTML view. This feature is great considering the fact that whenever I went to slow internet cafes to check my gmail, very few times did I succeed. Kudos to Google for putting so much thought behind their work. My fondness for Google seems to grow everytime.
