It seems to me that some core component (regarding e-mail part of Seamonkey and Thunderbird) was changed relatively recently and is doing "something" with hard disk on all platforms, accessing profile data, that chokes rest of the application and freezes it until it finish what it was doing with the disk. Chokes were smaller but noticable before, but now they are killing whole applications. Since Thunderbird and Seamonkey share code, it is Mozilla problem with both. Sounds to mi like something is going on that was triggered with some relatively recent changes. Again, if anyone have idea how to report a bug about this that is good and informative to developers, feel free to say what information could be provided. I also observed that disk lockups on Seamonkey and Thunderbird happen periodically and that also hangup like that with large disk access is Always triggered in the moment when going from offline to online network state in SM/TB. There is DTrace on Solaris/OpenIndiana that could provide informative in auditing Thunderbird , just Seamonkey is not ported to Solarises yet but will be one day if I get time. I use Seamonkey on Linux, anyway and on Linux it is 64-bit SM version and on Openindiana/Illumos is 32-bit TB, both x86. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
