This is on a Dell XPS 400, 1 GB, 2 core XP Home machine. After apparently
operating
normally running only SM for 10-15 minutes, SM became unresponsive while

email. The CPU by SM was 50% (Idle process using the other 50%). It stayed like
that
for 5 minutes, then I attempted to end it using Task Monitor. CPU usage jumped
to
100%, and two dumprep.exe processes were running; further attempts to end SM
produced
four dumprep.exe running.
After a few minutes, SM did end, and I clicked on four "send crash report"
requests.
I restarted the computer and SM, and it's been normal for over an hour.
Ideas?
I'm not going to claim that what follows is a universal cure, or that it even
addresses the actual problem, but my impression is that trouble starts when SM begins
spending too much of its time tending its fancy new databases.
In my case, specifically, since
____________
Preferences -> Browser -> History -> Form and Search History -> Remember form and
search history for up to X days
____________
ceased to have any meaning, my cpu usage also intermittently shot through the roof.
My maybe-solution was to go to:
____________
Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> When I ask Seamonkey to clear my private data,
it should erase:
____________
and leave ticked only:
Browsing History
Download History
Offline Website Data
Authenticated Sessions
and then clear the data myself MANUALLY once each week. Otherwise, the browsing
history will just grow forever.
Your choices of what to delete may differ from mine; browsing history is the
main one.
