I have been observing two different ways in which SeaMonkey seems slow. When I launch SeaMonkey, my home page is my exported bookmarks.html file on my local hard drive. I see this home page almost immediately. However, I cannot scroll, launch a Find dialogue popup, select anything from the menu bar, select any button on a tool bar, or resize the browser window for several seconds. I just now timed it at 8 wall-clock seconds after the window appeared. I disconnected from the Internet and still timed it at 8 seconds, so it is not a case of SeaMonkey accessing the Internet.
The second slowness affects rendering. It is most noticeable at <http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/syntax.html>, Section 8 of the W3C's HTML5 Candidate Recommendation specification. This is not an issue with downloading. I downloaded the HTML file in 1-2 seconds. This is definitely a rendering issue, seen (1) if I zoom the text and (2) when I load into SeaMonkey the downloaded HTML file from my hard drive. This is most likely a Core problem; since I use SeaMonkey as my only browser, I am reporting the problem here. -- David E.
