I've been having trouble for a few weeks. When I invoke things like
FaceBook and LiveJournal, there is an indication that much information
is being downloaded before the application actually is ready for use.
Usually the Task Manager Application shows "Not Responding". Sometimes
if I wait a minute or two, the application finally gets started.
I tried these with IE and they work fine.
Oh yes, disabling add-ons does not solve the problem.
I have been struggling with this issue for nearly a month.
1. It is only a problem on my XP SP3 machines which also have less
memory and slower cpu. I have no problem on newer, faster machines
running Win 7.
2. On Facebook, the problem does not exist if I am on my Timeline. I
only see it on the Newsfeed when the bottom of the screen shows
continually loading data from somewhere like akamailhd.net (sp?). This
goes on forever on the XP machines but stops almost immediately on Win
7. On the XP machine, Task Manager shows SM using 90-95 % of the CPU so
everything grinds to a very slow pace.
3. I have limited success using IE Tab which lets your browser emulate
the IE browser. This is an improvement but still not anywhere near as
good as using IE or Google Chrome directly.
4. I have tried using a brand new "Test" profile using the SM defaults,
disabled all add-ons, starting in "Safe" mode. Nothing helps on my XP
computers. As I said earlier, there is no problem on my Win 7 machines.
I just tried using IE for FaceBook as well as a few other things like
Live Journal and Huffington News and they all start right up in IE. This
suggests a problem with SeaMonkey, doesn't it?
Possibly, but wait a week and SeaMonkey 2.25 should be released and your
problem possibly fixed.
Possibly, maybe, might be a problem with your Cache options. Mine are
set to let SeaMonkey manage the cache, compare when the page is out of
date, and to prefetch.

Do you have hardware acceleration enabled? Have you tried disabling it?
