As of the time-stamp on this e-mail it is extremely slow using TBB 2.4.17 rc to access such places as gmail.com. It took me about 10 minutes since I first fired it up to sent this email.
So far, 377 relays out of the 4429 in the consensus (~8.5%) are running 0.2.4.17-rc, which prefers 0.2.4.8-alpha and later over 0.2.3.x in circuit creation. It is quite likely that you are just unlucky with the relays Tor picks for your circuits.
