Uwe,
I would have to agree with your results. At first, the idea was to just
use one program and have setup tools that were easier to manage. But
once I stopped using the FF+Thunderbird combo I also noticed a
considerable difference in processor usage when running Seamonkey's
browser and mail apps at the same time.
Let's just enjoy the results!

Hallo
I just played a little around using
(Kubuntu 8.04, but all seamonkey/thb/fixr are not part of Ubuntu).
ps ux
For either seamonkey 2.0 (with the mail application running (check 2 imap
servers in a 10 Min interval)) and various webpages open.
Or firefox 3.5 the same pages open
and thunderbird 3.0 (with the mail application running (check 2 imap
servers in a 10 Min interval))
I was very surprised to find out the following:
When I run
seamonkey alone it consumed around 12% of my CPU.
When I started firefox + thunderbird
firefox consumed around a little more 15% of my CPU
and thunderbird almost 40%!!!
I never really thought of switching from seamonkey to
thunderbird+firfox, now these numbers convinced me even
more.
Can somebody confirm these numbers or the general impression?

I wonder why people are so concerned with using as few cycles of
processor power as possible.
If you've got 4Gigahertz of cycles (yes, I know!!!!), why are people so
pleased to just be using half a gig to do things and then sit there
twiddling your thumbs??
Sure, if you're simultaneously using photo-manipulation programs and
drafting programs and the 1812 Overture playing in the foreground, sure,
you don't want to be using much of your cycles on WEB stuff, but
other-wise......
