Its better if programs can do whatever it is they are trying to do with
as little load on the CPU as possible. The less total load the CPU is
under, the less power your system will use (especially important if the
system is on battery power)
Oh and regardless of whether SeaMonkey (or any other program) is the
only foreground program you are interacting with/have open, pretty much
any modern OS and desktop environment will likely be running a huge
number of background programs for all sorts of reasons so you dont want
any foreground process to be using so much CPU horsepower that these
important background programs are starved of CPU time.
Yes, all valid points, but if I am doing something, anything, why would
I want some of my CPU's to be sitting there, twiddling their thumbs.
Surely, I would want my task to occur as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, why pay good money just so that more cores can sit around
doing nothing!
P.S. your AVG sig de-limiter is broken .... it shoul start with just two
dashes and a space ... not three dashes!!
