I don't know what you're doing that would cause >>> According to Task Manager, SM is using 1,051,192 KB of memory.

Yeah - not terribly surprising if SeaMonkey is single-threaded. One thing you could try if you haven't already - set browser.cache.memory.max_entry_size to -1 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Preferences/Mozilla_networking_preferences browser.cache.memory.max_entry_size 5120 (default) -1 = no limit The maximum size of an entry in the memory cache (in KB). If you've got the memory cache size set to 4GB you should probably go without a size limit on individual cache entries.
