[gentoo-user] Seamonkey and saving pictures

[Dale]

Hi,

I have noticed something in the past few days that has me bum fuzzled. 
I can't figure out why Seamonkey has started taking forever to save a
picture.  I do it this way.  I find a pic, then right click and select
'save image as' and then tell it where to save it.  The image is already
downloaded so it is not trying to download over my slow dial-up.  After
I hit save, it takes sometimes 10 seconds or so and the CPU goes to
right at 100% usage.  Sometimes it takes longer than 10 seconds,
sometimes less.  Image size doesn't seem to matter either.  I can't
figure out that part either.

I have a AMD 2500+ CPU and 1Gb of ram.  My drives are UDMA enabled and
work fine with everything else.  I don't think it did this a few weeks
ago either. 

Any clues?  Anybody know if it uses a external program to save pics with
and what it is? 

Thanks for any pointers.  More info below.

I don't use Seamonkey, but one way you might determine the answer to
this question is by using strace on it to see if it is calling any
external programs or just system calls.  You should also be able to see
what it's spending a lot of time on.  You could also use top to verify
that the 100% CPU time is actually being consumed by the Seamonkey
process and not some other process.

for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him
who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were
not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received
mercy, but now you have received mercy. ~1 Peter 2:9-10
