Personally I won't do any pref change in SeaMonkey here and would advice to close any possible bug which asks for it.

These are Gecko backend settings and we usually don't touch them unless they break us. Except the occasional change now and there.

But if some see a significant performance impact when changing this it might be best do add something to the release notes. Happy to put a small explanation into the next one if someones sends a snipplet to me.

OK, 24 hours of life with a larger memory cache have shown:

1) No dramatic improvement in overall performance;

2) A lack of hangs when SM reaches 25% CPU usage -- it hasn't reached that level during the test period. Rather, it seems to peak at 15–18%.

So there may well be something to what Dirk Munk advised. I'll keep running with this pref setting and watch for the hangs I used to get regularly. When opportunities arise, I'll push it harder.
