New to K-Meleon use, just passing through the forum, saw this thread and thought I should chime in because I'm also looking for a solution to this "stall" problem and I'm not using SP3.

My system:  XP SP-2 (patches up-to-date), AMD Athlon (1.3G, 256M), K-Meleon 1.5.3.

After browsing for about an hour, opening between 5 & 10 tabs in 3 windows on 4 or 5 sites, K-Meleon keeps spiking my CPU so that it becomes "normal" for keystrokes to take several seconds to echo to the screen.  Task Manager graph shows a cycle approx 5 seconds long, fluctuating between sub-10% CPU usage and 100%, where the 100% is 2 or 3 seconds long (in other words, the valleys are spikey but the peaks have flat tops).  Process memory usage, around 75M, is good.  K-Meleon is the only app running.

It's not this way at launch:  when it launches the peak is a spike, usually around the 30% mark, then deteriorates over time.  Workaround is to retart K-Meleon every hour or so (which is becoming a nuisance).

Tried downgrading to 1.5.2, same problem.

If anybody finds a better workaround, please sing out.  (Firefox is too fat, and Opera doesn't play nice with Yahoo! mail - I feel like I'm running low on browser options)[/quote]
