User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; de; rv:1.9.1.12) Gecko/20100825 Lightning/1.0b1 Mnenhy/0.8.3 SeaMonkey/2.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; de; rv:1.9.1.12) Gecko/20100825 Lightning/1.0b1 Mnenhy/0.8.3 SeaMonkey/2.0.7

After Seamonkey is restarted opening a new link in a new window is very fast but after opening and closing more and more windows it gets slower. After 100 windows it takes several seconds. It happens whenever a new windows is opened through a middle click or ctrl-n.

In practice I have to restart Seamonkey at least every week to get an acceptable performance again.

It happens with all 2.x versions I used.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open new windows.
2.Close windows.
3.Repeat steps 1 and 2.
Actual Results:  
Opening a new window takes several seconds.

Expected Results:  
Opening a new windows should always take the same amount of time.

Opening looks fine.
Ctrl+N 20 x.

I do see a slowdown on closing.
Ctrl+W 20 - or more - x.
Or more, cause looks like keystoke buffer is being lost (if you're quick enough in your Ctrl+W's).

Possibly attributable to Session Restore or other clean up routines?

Setting browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash to false showed no change.

Closing the windows is decidedly slower then opening them.

Note: I did this repeatedly.
Opened one original window, Ctrl+N'd 20x, Ctrl+W'd 20x (or more), Ctrl+N'd 20x, Ctrl+W'd 20x ...

Christoph, could you test against a recent release and see if it is still an issue?
