I use three computers regularly, and all have the hangup problem where Seamonkey

ratio is too high to get anything done.
I believe that Seamonkey is busy doing something that it thinks is too
important to
give up CPU cycles to the user.
I've seen lots of people reporting similar problems - is there anything that we
can
do to help find a solution? Perhaps some way of us determining what Seamonkey is
actually doing when it hangs?

Thirded? Several 'types' of hangups in my experience.
Sometimes the browser simply stops responding for an indefinite time within a
website. Killing SM and restarting makes things move again.
Another is when you are already in certain sites and you click on a different link
within Bookmarks Manager and...zip. But if you RIGHT click on the new link and then
click on Open in a New Tab, it works. Some sites seem to 'seed' this behavior, among
them http://slashdot.org/ and http://lifehacker.com/. You can left-click your way
back and forth BETWEEN them, through Bookmarks Manager, but all of a sudden can't go
anywhere else without right-click/New Tab.
An add-on named CheckPlaces seems to've tamed a third kind lockup where the symptom
is 100% cpu. It maintains the bookmarks database at times of your own choosing. I
also now nuke the History once a week (not really sure how important a role that plays).
