I don't know if I can continue to use SeaMonkey. I've been
responding to posts in various groups for an hour or two and
I've only been able to type for half that time. I've tried
restarting SeaMonkey but it still has these long delays. Task
manager says there is nothing going on in the system. None of the
other apps are affected. When I am waiting for the hourglass I
can switch to Chrome and play Sudoku with no problems.
I may have to buy a newsreader and give up on the open source
stuff.
The usual troubleshooting procedure is to launch SM in Safe Mode,
disabling all add-ons and extensions. If the problem goes away,
repeat the procedure, enabling one extension. If the problem is
still gone, repeat, adding one more extension at a time until the
problem recurs. When it does, you have the guilty party (the most
recently added extension). At that point, post back and someone
here may well have a fix or workaround for that particular
extension.
Starting SeaMonkey in safe mode I still find delays and the other
things that make SeaMonkey hard to use. Just now as I type this post
it both would freeze for some seconds as I type, but since it stops
processing input as I am typing it sometimes will switch back to the
main window where the typing is interpreted as commands.
OK, next thing to look at is Windows Task Manager.
Do CTRL-SHIFT-ESC and look at the "Performance" tab. Is your CPU or your
RAM maxed out or nearly so? In that case, look at the "Processes" tab
and see if anything's sucking up all your processor time or memory. If
not, click "Show processes from all users" and sort by CPU or Memory by
clicking the column heading.
Any news, report back.
