If you have a broadband connection there is little benefit to using a
browser cache. Disable it.
First question, how? Second question, does the browser impact the
other components in SeaMonkey when the browser isn't running?
Edit | Preferences | Advanced | Cache
Uncheck "Let SeaMonkey manage..." and set the value to zero.
Logically, I can't imagine how something that isn't running could
affect anything else, but I'll leave that one to the experts.
I don't know which cache is disabled by this setting. When you delete
the local profiles directory, more then one cache is deleted!
You are quite correct. See bug #864047 at
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=864047>.
And since we don't know which cache is causing the speed problems,
disabling the cache as described may not fix the problem.
I have quite a strict view on caches, page files etc. When you *start*
an application that uses a cache, that cache should be initialized. Data
in a cache belongs to a running session, there shouldn't be old junk
from previous sessions in the cache.
When I was still using the glorious Windows 98, I used a setting that
would clear the page file when I closed down Windows. It made Windows 98
quite a lot more stable!
So I would suggest that SM also initializes the local caches at startup!
