It seems that when I launch SeaMonkey, there is always a delay in

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.
I also have a local HTML file as my home page, and it loads instantly.
If I click an Internet link on that page it also loads nearly instantly.
For instance, my own site <http://edmullen.net> appears with no
perceptible/countable time lag.
My suspicion is that the more complex the page the longer this lag time
is. In my experience if a page does not have very complex html and few,
if any scripts, the page will load quickly.
