Dear Frank-Rainer
This is *not* a bug!
It's very simple, if you open more tabs, you will need more memory.
The default memory setting simply is not sufficient for 'power users'
with many tabs open.
What I see here is what I've seen many times before. In a 32 bit
environment, memory constraints are very important, on OS level and
application level. All kinds of settings are done with the mindset of
conserving memory.
When the OS or the application is moved to 64 bit, very often no one
thinks about removing memory constraints, so applications still run
as if they were 32 bit applications. What should be done is checking
all kind of memory settings, and change these settings to let them
use (much) more memory. After all, that is the only purpose of 64 bit
operating systems and applications, make it possible to use more memory!

Hello,
I really would like an official answer from the SM developers on this
matter.
I followed your advice to increase the allocated RAM (on the previous
thread about it) to 4GB and *nothing* has ameliorate.
*But* I'm on macOS and I've always seen SM using a lot of RAM, really
too much for a (modern) browser that should load the tabs only when
they are actually in use. It should not matter if there are 150 tabs,
but only 30 are loaded because you are reading these websites.
SeaMonkey for macOS is already 64bit.
Still my SM 2.49.4 is hanging a lot of times a day, with CPU spikes to
90/100% and the colored spinning wheel for 30 seconds. I observed this
is happening more often since I added a new news-server (astraweb).
Any clue?
Thank you.
It could have something to do with network settings in Seamonkey. For
instance there is a setting network.http.max-connections , you can try
to increase it. I have it at 512 at the moment.
There are many other of those kind of settings that I have increased
over time to remove restrictions. It seems you are running into some
kind of restriction somewhere, and now we have to figure out which one
it is.
