Hi!

Is it me or does Mozilla's SeaMonkey v2.0.x seems to hog CPU a bit if I
have like 20+ tabs at once (yes, I am that crazy)? I noticed
seamonkey.exe crawls to hiccup speed (up to 0%-25%) even on a quad-core
system with 2 GB of RAM in an updated Windows XP Pro. SP3. I even notice
this sometimes in a fairly new 64-bit W7 machine on an Intel i5 machine.
I reproduced this in http://www.neatorama.com/ (by itself with 40+ tabs)
and others (numbers can vary but many tabs), and I don't see anything
fancy running like animated graphics/videos.

I do use the latest versions of Flashblock, Adblock Plus, etc. I did
notice Process Explorer shows
seamonkey.exe~jsj_JavaInstanceMethodWrapper even if I am not doing
anything (idled). I don't even have Java enabled! SeaMonkey just spikes
on its CPU. Memory usages can go high like peak memory usage to 408,280
K and its VM size went to 239,452 K according to Task Manager.
Restarting and restoring sessions did not help either.

Thank you in advance. :)

Tabs hog memory whether its one or twenty one. That's why I don't use Tabs.
They hog memory in FireFox as well. It takes cache memory away from normal operation to save all the contents of that page into memory.
