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.

What does about:cache show for memory now?

I'm not seeing any hangs w/ seamonkey and still have the default
   Maximum storage size:        200000 KiB
with
   Storage in use:      29998 KiB

At the moment, I'm not pushing it, but here's what it shows:

memory
Number of entries:      1212
Maximum storage size:   1048576 KiB [that's my user-set limit]
Storage in use:         54939 KiB

And according to task manager, seamonkey is using 305MB of memory

According to Task Manager, SM is using 1,051,192 KB of memory. Under peak load, I would expect that to double; I haven't yet seen it reach 3 GB.

I did have some trouble this afternoon as I was perusing Google News. For some stories, I clicked "View full coverage" and each time I did, SM hung. As before, CPU peaked at 26–27% and RAM usage was a little over 2 GB. After two or three minutes, the cursor returned to its usual arrow shape and CPU usage fell to under 10%. But the next time I clicked "View full coverage," it was like standing on the brakes again.
