Well, I found out what was wrong with this thing.  If you go to Tools >
Download Manager and look in the window, there is a list of everything I
have saved since I started using Seamonkey as my browser.  That was a
long time.  I did a ctrl A to select all the downloads and then told it
to remove them all from the list.  This thing ran for 15 or 20 minutes
at full throttle until I finally gave up and killed Seamonkey.  I then
went diggin in the .mozilla directory and found the file where all this
is kept.  I made a copy just in case then deleted the file completely. 
The file was HUGE.  After I deleted that file I went back to some of the
sites I got to and downloaded some images and then saved them.  It was
nice and fast again.

So, the morale of this story is to delete all that crap in the download
manager every once in a while before it gets to huge.

Thanks Billy Wayne for helping me test this thing.  It got me off to a
new start.

Hmmm, I wonder if this is a feature or a bug??
