I have exactly the same experience (just on 64-bit Windows).
Slowdowns start to happen around Seamonkey reaching 2GB of RAM usage and
they extend for me not only to tab switching but all, site scrolling,
mail sending etc.
"about:memory" + GC seems to help a little bit but honestly the only
option that really helps me is brutal kill of process and my beloved
"restore previous session" functionality - that does the trick for few
next hours.

Unfortunately this is my experience, too (on 64-bit linux)
I typically keep 8-10 tabs open, which a t the end of a day
typically means SM2.49.5 uses about 1-1.2 GB RAM.
With SM2.53.3 this balloons to 2.5-3GB - much higher.
There are also perceivable delays to switch between tabs.
I am not complaining - i have been using the Mozilla suite since before
its 1.0
release and am very thankful to the developers who have kept SeaMonkey
alive.
Perhaps if I (and other users) spent more time with betas, things would be
better but the trend is worrying.

I noticed today while running FaceBook and trying to turn off Messenger
Active Status the screen went slightly blurry, the "X" in upper right
corner
turned RED and the pointer became a spinning circle. Everything
froze. I was
able to open Task Manager via the "Control-Alt-Delete" and checked
SeanMonkey. Memory was just running up the scale. Was a little
over1GB when
opened Task Manager and was increase like crazy. In about 30 seconds
it was
almost to 3GB. I then 'stopped' SeaMonkey.
I tried this again - same results. Then I disabled Java Script.
Tried again
- same results.
Anyone else experience this with FaceBook? Sending SM into a loop?
SeaMonkey
or FaceBook or (heaven forbid) my problem?
