You do know that this is an improper comparison, don't you? Seamonkey is
not a spreadsheet program and Excel is not a browser. The data they deal
with is significantly different too. Excel rarely loads images, to begin
with. "simple" spreadsheets (the ones you use in your comparison) rarely
contain scripts, while even "simple" webpages nowadays have four or five
scripts (for ads and such, at the very least). Entirely different
beasts. You aren't comparing apples and oranges; you are comparing Apple
Computers and _the color_ orange.

If you want to offer a valid comparison, show numbers for another
browser. Don't forget about the e-mail client -- if you use a browser
with no built-in mail client (that would exclude just about all major
players except Opera, I think), add a lightweight(*) e-mail program with
a similar setup to your Seamonkey setup.

(*) I say "lightweight" because of course including the mail client in
the browser gives some savings, and using some overweight beast like
Outlook would be a totally unfair comparison. A lean program like
Pegasus or re-Alpine would make for a fairer comparison.
