Or at least, what seems to be a satisfactory work-around...

I have an odd/frustrating performance problem with Seamonkey 2.24
(although I've been seeing this for several previous versions), running
on Windows 7 Professional. Computer is a bit old, running an Intel
Mobile Core 2 Duo processor, and has 8 GB of RAM.
I use Seamonkey for both browser and mail/news, as well as occasional
work with the HTML composer tool.
Symptoms:
There are times when I'm working in Seamonkey, and I get temporary
freezes (typically 10-20 seconds), where Seamonkey refuses any kind of
input from either keyboard or mouse. When this happens, I can use
Alt-Tab to move from window to Window, but if I do a mouse-over, putting
the pointer over a Seamonkey icon in the Windows Taskbar, most of the
windows show a wait cursor. This happens whether I'm working in the
mail client, the browser, or even the composer.
I'm just moving my configs to a new computer. I was hoping that that
would be the solution, but it turns out that I was still having the
same symptoms, and where the problem was seeming to be related to
mail/news.
I did some further poking, and discovered that I had several news
servers all set to check for new articles every 60 minutes. One of
them is AIOE, which I've often found to be particularly slow.
I tried playing with these settings, changing the frequency higher (to
around two hours), but on different cycle for each server (e.g., 115
mins, 120 mins, 125 minutes, etc), that server checks aren't running
at the same time, and the problem seems to have gone away. I didn't
have checking for new messages at startup enabled, but I have noticed
that the mail client does seem to start a little faster, anyway.
It's nice to see that Seamonkey is behaving a lot better (and that I
don't have to go through all the effort of rebuilding the profile by
hand).

My setting is that i did not set an auto-checking for the news. Same
setting for the mail.
