Thanks Jazz, I discovered the same thing and eliminated the Notifier.

Yes, an excellent post. Thank you, Joe.

The GMail people are very bad at communicating with their users.

Note, for example, the issue of GMail crashing the browser. There seems to have been a change in the GMail code a few weeks back, which causes those who repeatedly press certain keys (it seems the Delete key and Cutting Text may be integral) to crash the entire browser.

There has been a lot of discussion about this issue, but no response from the Gmail people.

Just an advisory... if you turn on the always use https function and you happen to use the g-mail notifier (as I do) it immediately cuts off your notifier and it can no longer check your mail for you. I'm going to have to give this some thought.
