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.
I do not experience any of the slowness you are describing. The w3.org
page opens within 2 to 5 seconds. I am running SeaMonkey 2.14 using
MacOS X 10.7.5 using a 24" iMac (late 2006) 2.16 core 2 duo processor.
I do not believe it is a SeaMonkey rendering issue as my computer is not
the fastest model anymore and I do not see this slowdown you speak of.
BTW you have tried rebooting your computer recently to see if this might
improve your speed ;) ?
