Sending Gmail Slow

Been a Tbird user (and donor) for years. Last few months sending Gmail is slow, frequently:

Often 30-60 seconds with just text in email Can be >60 seconds when forwarding an email with embedded links or when sending an attachment.

My setup below. No other app or network issues on my 2 year old Dell Windows 11 PC or with other devices in my home Eero mesh network. No non-Tbird Gmail problems from my phone or iPad.

Any simple solutions here? Thanks.

Version 128.1.0 (problem has existed well before this release over last few months) with all installation server setting defaults: pop.gmail.com Port 995 smtp.gmail.com Port 465 Secure Connect SSL/TLS Authentication method OAuth2
