I have noticed over a period of several months that each time I update

I do not have extensions or add ons except for User Agent switcher
and Last Pass Security. I have two PC's and a laptop, the second PC
has
only User Agent Switcher and all three experience this delay. Is
there a
setting I am missing or could this be an ISP problem. I have Cox Cable
which is the so called "fastest" in this area.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Switch your home page to blank or a local HTML page and test to take
Cox
out of the equation.

I set the home page to "Blank", no change to delay. I then disabled the
Host file which is quite large and thought it might be a cause. However,
after closing the browser and shutting down the system a cold boot and
restart of Seamonkey the delay is still apparent.

If I close Seamonkey and restart it, the delay is minimal. It appears
that upon the initial start of Seamonkey after boot up something is
interfering with or configuring the program before it opens and is then
erased when the system shuts down. Does this make any kind of sense?

Yes.  Sounds like an anti-virus program set to check programs before
loading & remember the results so it doesn't have to scan on
subsequent program loads.

So... do you ahve an a/v program?   set to check programs when they
load?  and set to scan only on the first load?

Lee:

I have Microsoft Security Essentials as well as AVG Free edition. Any
kind of scheduled or auto scan is disabled in both. "Real-time
protection" is enabled in MSE and "Resident Shield" is enabled in AVG.
As far as I can tell looking at the settings for both programs there is
no indication of a request to scan any particular program before
opening. However, I really don't know what "Real-time protection" is in
MSE.

Is it possible that you have either/both MSE and AVG set up to check your e-mail files on start-up?? SeaMonkey stores your e-mails in one (possibly large) file, and, because of the way SM handles it's e-mail files and attachments, it is not necessary to check them or your new e-mails as they are downloaded.
