Am I the "problem" or "victim"?
[The quotation marks *ARE* semantically significant ;]

I have been following recent thread on mozilla-support-thunderbird with subject line "Thunderbird Extremely Slow and Pegging CPU". There have been references to several Thunderbird specific articles on kb.mozillazine.org . Mozillazine articles frequently are targeted at a specific product but have an introductory sentence/paragraph indicating they are applicable to other products in the Mozilla family. The articles referenced do not have that sentence/paragraph. Is there any *GROSS* difference between Thunderbird and SeaMonkey Mail/News?

I'm an antique using SeaMonkey 2.26.1 under WinXP Pro SP3.
I have only POP email.
.../[profileid].slt/Mail occupies 2.5 GB with 417 files in 66 folders
.../[profileid].slt/Mail/[primary email acct] occupies 136 files in 15 folders
.../[profileid].slt/News occupies 140 MB with 162 files in 8 folders

I retain full text of all email.
I retain only headers for news.

I tend to:
 1. take a coffee break when launching SeaMonkey.
 2. hibernate my computer rather than shutdown SeaMonkey.
 3. notice that defragging makes SeaMonkey load faster.
I have ~20 active tags for emails and news articles.
I use read and flag status as modifiers to above.
I use a paid news server so archives may be more extensive than typical ;/

Functionality is *MORE* important than speed.
Comments &/or suggestions?

TIA
