Thanks for adding your quantitative study information to this discussion.
It's interesting, and made me realize that my comments on fastness were
about operational fastness and not about the app startup time fastness -
which likely is what the original FF/TB/SM discussion was about.
True.
When it comes to evaluating speed, there's fast (or slow) and then there's
fast.
With Seamonkey, speed of loading the application is one thing, and speed of
operation is another. And within operational speed, there's not just what's
happening on the local computer, but things like connectivity to a site, and
responsiveness of the site itself. There's several different potential
bottlenecks.
That all applies to the browser and would be the same between different
browsers. I only really use SeaMonkey for newsgroups and only use the
SeaMonkey browser when I click a link in a newsgroup. That said, I find
everything in SeaMonkey to be slow. There are times I am waiting to type
into the newsgroup post I am making and have to find something else to do
while I am waiting for control to return. I also see focus change to the
main window sometimes resulting in chaos when it starts interpreting my
typed ahead keys as commands.
I saw similar speed issues in T-bird which has a lot of common code while I
don't find these speed issues in any other apps on my computer. When these
speed issues happen, I don't see any indication in task manager the computer
is being taxed in any way.
