Using SM2 on Windows 7 x64 (and other Windows machines).

I have found many discussions of high CPU usage in FireFox and
SeaMonkey, but none of the suggestions have ever helped in my situation.

The symptom is that SeaMonkey freezes for a few seconds, most noticeably
when scrolling a document or clicking a menu (when I expect instant
response). The problem is less severe on my new quad core machine
(Windows 7 x64) and worse on an XP virtual machine.

When this happens on my quad-core machine, Task Manager typically shows
high CPU on several cores (usually three), not just one one core as
happens when I load a new page.

How can I find out what SeaMonkey is doing when this happens?


Good question. I've been seeing this for months now. I believe it has something to do with the mail component in SM. If I run just the browser it's fine. Once I run mail, however, I see these periodic freezes. I've tried turning off automatic mail and news refresh/message download to no avail.
