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.

Is this just with web pages open or do you also have mail and/or
newsgroups open at the time?

I always have Mail/News open.

<http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.memory.capacity>
has a note that mail & newsgroups can be cached in memory, so if you
have a huge inbox or newsgroup maybe that's it?

I don't think I have "a huge inbox" -- definition? At the moment, 185 messages, 57 MB.

As for newsgroups, does this one count as huge? At the moment, three unread of 109,466.

But I have noticed in recent years that when SM automatically polls and downloads messages, everything else in the suite comes to a screeching halt for a couple of seconds. Fortunately, that's not long enough for downloads to give up. But it is annoying if I'm watching a video and have to rewind to see what I missed.
