Hi. I am currently on a 3.1.0-1-686-pae kernel. I am aware that
Seamonkey is only 32 bit and of the 2GB limitation, and I've seen it max
out at 2GB many times before.

I regret that it may be some time... if ever, that we see Seamonkey go
64bit. So much old code in there.

Seamonkey is currently a 32-bit application; are you running
a 32-bit or 64-bit O/S, and if the former, are you using PAE,
4GT or AWE ? Only 4GT is likely to be of help -- it would allow
a 32-bit application such as Seamonkey to use 3GB of RAM.

I've found That applications that run in 64bit mode on my Macbook Pro (with 8gb Ram) that 64 bit programs seem to freeze much more and exibit strange symptoms. Even the system runs better as 32 bit. One nice thing is apps in 32 bit don't drain the battery excessively like 64bit does.
