It seems that when I launch SeaMonkey, there is always a delay in visiting the first Web page I select. If I clear that site's cookies and delete my cache, revisiting that page is much quicker.
My experience on Windows, is that it's changed over time. At one stage there was a "preload" of DLLs that were supposed to load once, then sit on the task bar to make the browser load more quickly (I didn't like this), but anyway, a few builds later (around year 2004) launching the SM browser was really quick and I forgot about it.
To test SM load time, I usually set the home page to a local HTML file, so it doesn't need internet access to launch, thereby cutting out any home page related network issues.
Now in 2016, I get "slow" load time of around four seconds, but I think it's related to something in the network stack (e.g. winsock) where it's much more bloated that it used to be, and in my case there's a VPN virtual adapter which seems to cause a delay.
There's also the SM user profile and SM cache which can get quite big, so it's worth trying with a clean profile.
