Also, once in a while SeaMonkey will be super slow or frozen in its
processs with one of my CPU cores going at max(imum) usage. It is
probably I have too many complex and various tabs (e.g., 150+) going
at once. :)
The system might be thrashing (swapping lots of pages out to disk)
although with 3GB of RAM, that shouldn't happen, unless you have
other processes gobbling up RAM.
SM is the biggest hogger of all. :(
150 tabs is probably (??) pushing the limits of your 32-bit
operating system. Or there's a memory leak in Seamonkey or
in one of the add-ons/plug-ins you're using.

(One way to test that would be to configure SM to restore your
session at start, quit SM, then reopen SM and see if it's still
using as much RAM.)
Yeah, it goes down by a few hundred MB but doesn't last long. For an
example, my SM just crashed again. Restarted it with all restored 166
tabs is using about ~1.4 GB compared to ~1.6 of RAM.
I typically have 40-80 tabs open (across 10-15 windows) and
I thought I was pushing it...
Heh, we're both crazy!
Uh, where did my 512 MB of RAM, from 3 GB, go then? I was told Video RAM
takes some. I have an old ATI Radeon 4870 video card (512 MB; PCIe).
I have the same setup, WinXP + 3GB RAM + 512MB GPU and
Process Explorer "sees" all my RAM:
Physical Memory (K) : 3 145 200
Where do you see that in PE? I am looking through Windows' Help About
like in Notepad and see "2,612,332 KB".
If you had 4 GB of RAM, then the GPU's RAM might "hide" some
of it, because it needs to be mapped below the 4GB mark.
Maybe. I messed up earlier. I actually 6 GB of RAM. I got confused with
my Debian/Linux oldstable box with its 3 GB of RAM. Sorry. Either way,
Windows XP only sees 2.5 GB of RAM.

Hmm, a bit technical and not sure what to do with that.
It does look very complex :-(
Here's more on the subject:

I'm afraid the "easiest" thing to do is to use a 64-bit OS
and a 64-bit Seamonkey, but your OS is only 32-bit.
If you upgrade to Win7 (the 64-bit version) you might try

Hold on! They're stuck on SM 2.0
http://wiki.mozilla-x86-64.com/SeaMonkey:Download
The one option you have left is trying Seamonkey from Linux!
Yeah. I don't use SM much on my 64-bit Debian oldstable box. My 64-bit
Windows 7 office machines (3 and 8 GB of RAM), with 32-bit SM, is way
more stable but then I don't have that many tabs (mostly Reddit) opened
at once like I do at home. :O
