I do not think that is the cause. My home page is an HTML file on my hard drive. There is no server to wake up upon launching SeaMonkey. That home page is the export of my bookmarks. Any link I request from it immediately after launching SeaMonkey shows the same delay. I see this delay with <https://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en> on an initial visit, but even after deleting my cache I do not see this delay on a subsequent visit. > Regarding the cache, try NOT clearing it when you exit SM.

I cleared the checkbox for "Always clear my private when I close SeaMonkey". After clearing my cache to remove the Google site, I visited a number of other Web sites to populated my cache. I terminated SeaMonkey, waited several seconds, and then relaunched SeaMonkey. I experienced the same delay when <https://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en> was the first link I visited. I get the same problem when the first visited link after launching is <http://www.reuters.com/news/us>. I have reset the size of my cache to 0. A prior reply in this thread -- about how high-speed broadband makes caching unnecessary -- reminded me that caching is of little or no utility. When they are requested, too many Web pages are generated on the fly or decompressed. Both of those place new time-stamps on the delivered files, nullifying the use of cached versions of Web pages with older time-stamps. -- David E. Ross Perhaps it was a smart decision for Hillary Clinton to use her private E-mail server while Secretary of State. According to current Secretary of State John Kerry, we know that the Russians and Chinese have hacked the State Department's servers. In the meantime, a claim by the Romanian hacker known as Guccifer (Marcel Lehel Lazar) that he hacked into Clinton's E-mail server proved false. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
